Many cats will shed tears. Over time, the eyes will become dark, which not only affects their appearance, but may also cause health problems. Why do cats cry? Let’s take a look at these reasons why cats cry!

1. Eyes are irritated.

The hair around the eyes is too long and can easily get into the eyes, which will stimulate the cat's eyes to shed tears. The owner should pay attention to help trim it regularly.

It is also possible that the inverted eyelashes pierce the eyes, causing the cat to shed tears, which can seriously abrade the cornea and affect the function of the cat's eyes, and the hair in the cat's eyes will also deteriorate due to tears.

If you want to improve the problem of trichiasis, you need to go to the hospital for a minor surgery.

2. The cat gets angry.

Cat food with too high oil and salt content and too many additives can easily cause cats to get angry. Giving your cat your own meals can also increase the likelihood that your cat will shed tears.

Usually, you should pay attention to the cat’s diet, eat less oil and salt, and let the cat drink more water. For cats who don’t like to drink water, you can provide them with automatic water dispensers, water-filled cans, etc.

3. The cat is sick.

Inflammation of the cat's cornea can cause pain in the cat's eyes and cause them to shed tears.

When a cat shows symptoms such as excessive tears, squinting for a long time, red and swollen eyes, etc., the cat should be taken to the hospital for diagnosis in time to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically.

4. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Many cats are born with it, and it mostly occurs in purebred cats. The pipe structure of their nasolacrimal duct system is too bent, which can easily lead to nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The scavenger needs to clean the cat more often.

Cats that have had eye inflammation or herpes virus may also have blocked or narrowed nasolacrimal ducts. This situation requires the cat to undergo nasolacrimal duct irrigation treatment under anesthesia, which will greatly improve it.

The cat’s tears are increasing, so the scavenger should take the cat to the hospital for examination in time!
