I have a question about my "outside" kitties that recently came around and i have been feeding. there is a momma her three babies a tom all very feral and two others that are less afraid and come closer than the others. its these two this question is about. i know alot of places ear tip after a feral has been neutered or spayed. am i wrong or is it the top portion of the ear is clipped or removed? these two cats have little "v"'s clipped off the side of their right ears, does antone think this is along the same lines as ear tipping? im in NY in case it varies by state.
