After the cat owner wiped Garfield's tear stains, the tear stains reappeared the next day or a few days later. This shows that wiping and cleaning the tear stains can only make the tear stains disappear for a short time, but as long as the cat's eyes still secrete a lot of tears, the tear stains will still appear. Therefore, cat owners should find out the cause of the cat’s tear stains in time, and then take appropriate measures to make the tear stains disappear slowly from the root. Let’s share some causes and solutions that may cause Garfield cats to have heavy tear stains.

1. Improper diet

If the cat owner feeds the cat greasy, high-salt food for a long time, it will be very irritating to the eyes. The cat will secrete a lot of tears, so tear stains are more likely to occur and may even be difficult to remove.

It is recommended that cat owners choose a healthy diet and control salt and oil content when preparing cat food. When choosing cat food, choose low-salt cat food.

2. The hair around the cat’s eyes is too long

Observe the appearance of Garfield cats. If the hair around the eyes is too long, it will also stimulate the secretion of tears. You can reduce the secretion of tears by trimming the hair, thereby reducing the tear stains, which is relatively easy to deal with.

When bathing the cat, it is the best time to thoroughly clean the tear stains. After the tear stains are wet, they will be easier to scrub away. Just wipe them gently with a cotton pad. If you don't want to clean it while taking a shower, you can wipe it with cotton balls and saline. Remember to be gentle.

3. Cat eye inflammation

If Garfield cat’s eyes have inflammation, such as conjunctivitis, it may cause redness, swelling, tears, and serious tear stains.

In addition, excessive diet can also cause the cat's eyes to have more gums, more tears, and heavy tear stains. In this regard, cat owners should pay attention to a light diet, and also need to take measures to deal with the inflammation of the cat's eyes. Use cat eye drops for it, 1-2 drops 2-3 times a day, and insist on using it.
