Yeah. We don’t know why.
Sorry for OT comment but did you get him checked for ear mites? One of my feral boys just got them and though he’s scratching at his ears, he ends up taking fur off of that spot. Drops should fix it but he’s feral so it will be months before he trusts me enough to administer them. My other indoor kitty had a dust mite allergy from mites that inhabit the bag her kibble comes in. Switching to canned helped. Mites are microscopic and so can’t be seen except by a vet taking scrapings.
Back on topic these winter and Christmas photos are amazing!
@I7guy the 6s still has what it takes! Actually I sometimes found it easier to get better Christmas lights photos with my 6S plus than my later cameras because the later ones would let in too much light and produce a bit of glare. Anyway that looks gorgeous!
