That looks like what’s called an “ear-tip” which usually indicates a feral cat that’s been spayed or neutered. There are trap-neuter-return programs in a bunch of areas to keep the cat population manageable. During surgery a little bit of the cat’s ear gets cut in a horizontal line to indicate the cat has already been spayed/neutered so doesn’t need to do it again and doesn’t need to be euthanized.
We adopted her from a place that “tips” the ear of trap, neuter, release feral cats. This was a while ago, and more place do less invasive markings. It’s to indicate that she shouldn’t be re-captured. But when she was in foster with her kitten, she was such a people cat (potentially because she was abandoned or escaped) that they decided to adopt her out instead.
Pumpkin spice ass cat (affectionate)
She does love the smell of warm spices
What happened with her ear?

Looks like OP’s car is a former feral kitty.
