Can cat ear mites get on furniture?

Cat ear mites (Otodectes cyanotis) are highly contagious and can infest humans and other animals, including dogs and ferrets. They can be spread through direct contact with an infected animal or by contact with contaminated objects, such as furniture or bedding. It is important to thoroughly clean and disinfect any surfaces or objects that may have been in contact with an infected animal to prevent the spread of ear mites.
