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.
A foul smell in the ear may indicate an ear infection. If you notice a foul smell in you or your child's ear, it could be a sign of an ear infection. Other symptoms include ear pain, ear discharge and a feeling of fullness in the ear, MedlinePlus reports. If you do develop an ear infection, antibiotics can be used to treat. You can also clean your ears to help remove the bacteria overgrowth and wax that may cause you ears to develop a noticeable odor.
