Veronica is correct with her answer that it tells the cat has been spayed or neutered. My neighbor would catch the wild cats in the neighborhood and animal control would come get them and the vet would snip a " V " shape cut on one ear to show that they had been spayed or neutered then they would be released again and this way it would control overpopulation. It has lowered the amount of litters being born.

The tiny fold they have in both ears is natural, and I'm not sure if it serves a purpose. If a cat has a "notch" or fold on one ear, it means that the animal has been neutered. This is done especially when an animal will be released so that it's known that it's been fixed.

Veterinarians cut a tip off the ear to indicate that the cat has been neutered/spayed.

Yes, but the little "cut" is in both ears.

I have no clue....actually, I owned several cats (we started out w/ 2, they mated, you know the rest. lol) but I never noticed any lil cuts in their ears. So I guess it does have to do w/ nuetering/spaying, cause none of our were nueterd/spayed.

To make soundwaves travel into their ears better. It has nothing to do with neutering/spaying.
