Cats eyes

[Bri1976]

In the past few days both of my cats have been squinting... Callie was doing it Saturday with one eye. Chaos was doing it yesterday with one eye. Both almost like something scratched or but I looked in both and there was nothing. Now today, chaos is squinting both eyes. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s the allergy season or what. Any ideas??

Hi!
How are things with them today?

Since this was both cats, it made me wonder if there was something they came into contact with, either in the house or if they're outdoor cats, outside?

I’m not sure how they’re doing right now...they were doing good this morning where I left for class. And I’m not sure...I thought it might’ve been our kitten scratching their eyes while playing but I don’t believe it is. They’re both inside cats. They’ve never been outside before at all. We have done anything different unless it’s our wax melts.

I'm thinking maybe stop using the wax melts for a few days and see if that makes any difference?

 

[Bri1976]

I might have to. We’ve always had wax melts going but we just changed the scents up...so I’ll try that and if nothing happens I’ll post back on here.

Sounds good, fingers crossed !

If you stop using wax melts but the cats continue to have problems with squinting I would contact your vet. Any health issue that involves the eyes should be taken seriously. It could be feline herpes or another problem. Here is an Article that discusses this subject in more detail: Eye Problems In Cats: What Every Owner Needs To Know – TheCatSite Articles
