It looks like your cat had a fight while he was gone. This may turn into a bite abscess. You can gently clean it with soapy water, then rinse well and pat dry it. Put some antibiotic ointment on it. . If the ear swells he will need to be seen by a vet.You may want to keep him inside for a few days.
