Question
i have a cat named larry that i got from my sister. he has this really bad oder and no matter what i do, i cant get rid of it. he is fixed, and he is an indoor/outdoor cat.

i know u do not diagnose things, but lately, the smell has gotten worse, and he has had hair loss, and getting sores on only the right side of his body? im very concered for him. do you think the smell could be assosiated with this.?

Answer
Well it's a good guess that the smell is coming from the sores. Has he been tested for leukemia? Has he been vaccinated for it?

It sounds like he has a huge abscess growing on his side. You need to get him to the vet's soon and get him looked at. No cat should smell this long.
