RICE. The name Rice in Ireland is derived from the native Gaelic O'Maolchraoibhe Sept of Counties Down and Armagh. This Sept name was also anglicized as Mulcreevy. The Rices of Munster Province are usually of Welsh origin, the name being taken from settlers named Ap Rhys. The name Rhys is also used.
Ear Mites. Your cat's ears are the perfect place for a tiny ear mite to settle down and raise a family, or a few dozen of them. These parasites feed on the wax and oils in your cat's ears, creating a brownish, coffee-ground-like discharge that can give off a foul odor.
Intact males, or Tom cats, have an unmistakable odor that is very strong and pungent. Neutering the cat will remove the odor and, often, reduce the motivation for spraying. Approximately 10 percent of male cats will continue to spray urine after they're neutered, but the urine should not have the same malodorous smell.
