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.
Sneezing and excessive nasal discharge are primary symptoms of these infections. Sneezing may be persistent and severe, which can rupture blood vessels inside the cat's nose. Cats suffering from a respiratory infection also may develop a fever, congestion and eye discharge. Loss of appetite and energy is common.
