It's called ear-tipping which marks each sterilized feral cat as "fixed". It's straight across 1/4 inch. This allows the cat, if trapped again, to be released without having to undergo anesthesia and surgery again.

Kurby was a feral for years in the park and when we TNR'd (trap, neuter, return) him he was ear-tipped. Bo is also ear-tipped cause she was also a park feral.
