Cats have pointy ears, because it helps them hear better. It's the same reason humans have forward facing eyes, 3d representation of the environment around them. By having ears facing forward, cats not only have 3D vision, but 3D sound.

Cat's have these tufts on their ears because the tufts help them hear better.

My cat has massive tufts on his ears cus he was born with it, and they did nothing to help him. Please note that ALL cat's have tufts on their ears for ether: nothing or just for better hearing.

The little flap of skin that cats have on their ear is cartilage. This extra ear flap protects the ear canal and the ear drum.

If you mean the little chunks that are out of their ears sometimes, those are from cat fights.

cats have tufts in their ears to serve the purpose of keeping debris from amounting in the ear, as well as to help them filter sound directly into their ears.
