So, considering the structure of the head and ears for creatures like cats, dogs, and bears, if one were to make a race with those types of ears (The stereotype cat person, essentially) I am curious how headgear might function.



I know glasses might be a problem, and a full helm might cause issues too. I figure perhaps they could fold their ears back if they wanted to put an actual helmet on...

          If the creature needs its ears to function well in battle, or for ritual or cosmetic show offs, you need holes. Helmets for military dogs have them:



          Helmet with ear holes



          Otherwise, do fold their ears:



          Folded ears in helmet

            All kinds of hoods would continue to work, I think. If the necessity of headwear is much bigger then felt discomfort (for example, cold weather clothing), heavy warm hats would be worn, even if they create some discomfort to the ears.



            As for the helmets, there are three separate solutions I can see.



            For the very light helmets, it could be just a comparatively narrow metal plate that goes from forehead to the back of the head, leaving the sides of the head and ears open. Modern military helmets that are adapted to big headphones give a similar profile: https://images.app.goo.gl/ZKBdTbA4mUdsfwKt8



            For inspiration, you can also take a look at medieval horse armor. House marks often were formed to protect the ears.
            https://images.app.goo.gl/dh5bW8Fac1Qgx9t89



            Some medieval helmets were quite roomy inside, and heavily padded. So changing the form of the padding, you would be able to fit the ears inside without much discomfort.
