Reasons for British Shorthair cats to shed tears:

1. If the salt content in the cat’s daily diet exceeds the standard, it will increase the secretion of the cat’s lacrimal glands, causing the cat to start to get angry and shed tears. . Cats cannot consume too much salt. Cats' sweat glands are underdeveloped, and excess salt will not be excreted through metabolism and accumulates in the body for a long time, which will have a negative impact on the skin and hair.

2. Cats will also shed tears when their eyes are stimulated. For example, if irritating gas, dust or cat hair enters the cat's eyes, the cat's eyes will be irritated and the eyeballs will be flushed with tears.

3. If a cat is sick and has physical pain and discomfort, the cat will also feel uncomfortable and cry. If the cat’s eyes are red, tears are flowing, and the cat is scratching desperately with its claws, then the cat’s eyes are likely to be infected with inflammation.

4. Some cats are born with trichiasis, and as they grow older, their tears become more and more obvious. Trichiasis means that the cat's eyelashes do not grow along the outside of the eye, but one or two grow into the eye, which always irritates the eyeballs and causes constant tears.

Methods for dealing with tears in British shorthair cats:

1. The cat’s eyelashes and hair around the eyes should be trimmed if they are too long. If there is any foreign matter inside, it should be rinsed out immediately with eyewash to prevent the cat's eyes from being irritated and causing tears, and eventually tear stains.

2. The cat needs to adjust its diet, stop feeding high-calorie snacks, and do not feed the cat food that is too dry. Instead, replace it with light and fire-reducing food, and at the same time, pay more attention to guiding the cat to drink water. , speeding up the elimination of toxins from the body.
