It depends on where the nick is, and if it is given time to heal. A split in the very top of the ear may gradually increase in length, over substantial time, if the cartilage that rings the ear is cut; if the top of the ear is held together long enough for the cartilage to heal back together, the split will not progress any further. A cat's ear is resistant to splitting sideways, though, so a nick in the side of the ear will not likely cause a split.

The progress of the split, if there is any progress at all, will be slow, measured in years, normally. If it is proceeding more quickly, you might watch to see if there is something that the cat is doing, or that is being done to the cat, to exacerbate the injury.

Why are there hairs in a cats ear?

There is hair on a cats ear because they need hair to keep dust, dirt, bugs and so on, out of the ear. When a cat stops scratching, it means that the mites have been killed. if your cat is scratching its ear, I recommend taking it to your local vet. It only takes one mite to start the whole itching frenzy again, so I recommend NOT cutting them. if you do so, i would talk to a Vet tech. Hope I helped!
