Hot ears on a cat! What does that mean?

Sometimes my 2 year old cat has very hot ears and then other times just warm.  Is this normal on a  fat cat?

My cat is fat too and has hot ears sometimes.  I always thought it meant she had a fever?  but the hotness usually goes away.  Is your cat presenting any other symptoms of an illness?

hot ears can indicate a fever. however if otherwise cat appears to be normal, eats fine and all the plumbing is working than I wouldn't worry over it, perhaps you're kitty just has a higher basic body temp.
