When they got done, they took a triangle piece (not too big or too small) out of the outsides of both of her ears. That way, if she ended up at the SPCA, she wouldn't have to go through it again since her ears were notched. About 2 years ago, we had Boots and her 2 sisters fixed. All three of them had their left ear squared off. My question is why are they different? Is it because of vet (one was done by a vet, the other three were done by Cornell's Vet students) or is because the notching was changed over the years? It kind of bugs me since I think that squaring off the ear takes away from a cat's face. Do other people have different ear notchings on their cats?

I think that the only reason they don't do boys is because that they can just look. With females, they actually have to cut them open to find out. I think that's a reason why your cat didn't get it.
