yes it will. I had a tom cat who always get into fight with other cats, we put hydrogen peroxide to keep from getting infected. he lost a small chunk out of one ear, and the other had had the same but was permanently folded back a little.
if they look pretty bad or is deeper in his ear than what's above his head take him to the vet

That depends how deep the cut is and how much it's bleeding.
An important part of cat care is knowing how to tend to a bleeding cat. The main purpose of providing first aid to a bleeding cat is to prevent excessive blood loss that can lead to shock. Pressure applied to the wound allows the normal clotting mechanism of the blood to stop the leak. This is a complex process, but basically the blood cells form a fine screen over the wound and thus prevent further loss of blood. That is why it is important not to remove the dressing once it has been applied.
If your cat has suffered from internal bleeding, it may go into shock and you may not be able to tell just by looking at the cat. Some of the signs of shock to watch for include pale or white gums or rapid heartbeat and breathing. If any wound is spurting blood, it means an artery has been cut. This requires immediate professional attention.
How you tend to your cat will depend on the location and extent of the bleeding. The following cat care tips will help you apply first aid to various body areas.

It should be alright -but Call your Veterinarian and get medication SAFE for Cats -ask about any medication used for humans before you put on your cat-just taked a few minutes to call and better safe than sorry In the meantime can with a wshcloth -use just alitle bit of soap an water and clean the scratch Also ask the Vet if Hydrogen peroxide is OK to clean the scratch wih.

My cat just came in dripping blood. It was from a quarter inch scratch/cut on the tip of her ear. Clean it with peroxide and put some antibiotic ointment on it. Probably got it from hitting a branch. Dont worry your cat will be ok.

Do not give your cat OTC people medicine because it can kill them. You're not even supposed to give them Neosporin. Take the cat to the vet where it can get proper care.

Soak it with peroxide twice a day. Works for my animal's minor injuries every time. Good luck! :)

It will most likely be just fine, but to be on the safe side, put some polysporin or neosporin on it so it won't get infected.

Yes, just watch it to make sure it doesn't get infected.
