The first thing you should do when cleaning your cat’s eyes is to prohibit the use of human eye drops, which may cause inflammation in your cat’s eyes. Here’s how to learn how to clean your cat’s eyes.

Cats often have secretions in their eyes that, if left unattended, will form “tear bumps” around their eyes and sometimes change the color of their fur, so they must be cleaned frequently. Use a cotton ball or gauze dipped in warm water to dab the eye to soften the discharge and then gently wipe it off with a wrung out cotton ball.

Cats have very sensitive eyes and should not be given human eye drops just because they have eye drops. In addition, boric acid water may cause inflammation and care must be taken when using it. Some breeds, like Persian cats, are extremely prone to soiling around their eyes due to teary eyes. However, if there are symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite and depression in addition to eye droppings, the cat may be sick and must be taken to the hospital immediately. In addition, if there are too many droppings that you can barely open your eyes, it is best to take your cat to the hospital as soon as possible.
