I clean her ears about once a month or so now, and the stuff is brown. A medium coklat colour. When the vet swabbed her ears at her last regular check-up, she said that yes, it's just normal ear dirt.
My other cat, Crumpet, has perfectly clean ears. The swabs come out looking just as they did before they went in. I can't explain it. They're both indoor cats, but one of them just seems to have dirtier ears than the other. One of life's mysteries, I suppose.
I think if you're concerned that your cat might have ear mites, a vet with an ear scope is probably the best way to get a sure answer. :-)
