More than likely if there is a bad odor coming from the ears it either has an ear infection of some sort or ear mites. Either will need a look/check by your vet to determine just what is wrong and to give you the appropriate medication. A cat's ears that are healthy should have little to no odor.....it's a sure sign something is wrong.

No because if they attack them they will be sick like the sick cats.And the sick cats know that if they attack the healthy cats they will be healthy. And then when the owners of the healthy wants to take the home, they will be mix up with the sick cats.FYI ,why do the healthy cats fight the sick cats. they have a good behavior so they don't fight or run around for mice or do other yucky and silly stuff.The guy who clean the healthy cats will be so angry to see them dirty and the docter will be dissapointed to the owner cause they don't take care their cats well enough.

Does lavender scent keep cats away?

If your cat "hates" lavender (the flower) it could be allergic. I'm assuming your a new owner, so here is another reason your cat could hate lavender: Some certain plants dogs and cats CANNOT eat because they may get sick and can sometimes even die! Like grass, cats eat it when they are sick to threw up. Make sure your cat is careful around plants. Have a nice day.
