Hello everyone, my cat's ears have suddenly become bent/droopy at the tips (as seen in the picture). Does anyone know what causes that, and is it related to an illness? Should I be concerned?

No harm in asking your vet if they've ever seen anything like it.
Could this be a possibility? Feline Ear Disorders
"Some feline ear abnormalities are genetically transferred from parents to offspring. Among these is an inherited condition known as “fold-ears,” in which the tip of a cat’s pinna is bent sharply either toward or away from the skull. This bizarre condition is not often associated with hearing loss."
