A cat can pivot their ears 180 degrees to hear. Their hearing is far better than humans and even better than dogs. A cat's ear has 32 muscles and each ear can move independently of the other. They also use their ears to communicate. If a cats ears are flattened, he is feeling threatened. If they are flickering in multiple directions, there's probably a lot of sounds and he's trying to figure out what they are. If his ears are perked and facing in one direction, he's interested in what he is hearing from that direction.

A cat's ears could turn red due to fever. The temperature of a cat can be check to either determine or eliminate this possibility. More reasons a cat's ears could turn red may be mites, inflamed tissue, or an allergy. It is best to ask a vet if there is concern.

If your blood was some color other than red, that would be a cause for concern.

If you're not talking about the scratch itself but the skin near it: that's certainly possible. Redness and swelling are two of the four signs of infection (the others are pain and an elevated temperature), and since your cat presumably didn't scrub up before scratching you, it's quite possible that the scratch could become infected.

You might also be mildly allergic to your cat, which would cause pretty similar symptoms.

This probably is a sign of inflammation due to infection or a hit to the ear at some point. Or it could mean the dogs bleeding out of its ear. Either way you should get that checked by a veterinarian.The other explanation could be that your dog is one of the ancient Pharaoh Hound type breeds. These dogs noses, cheeks and ears turn bright pink / reddish when they are excited or happy.
