I'm sorry to hear that Lilly is having a problem with her eye. You can use any human irrigating saline solution safely for a cat's eye. However, if she has discharge and is squinting, you should have her evaluated by her veterinarian. Your veterinarian will examine her eye for any scratches, infection, or abnormal material. Anytime a cat is squinting, we worry that the eye is painful, so I would recommend having it evaluated as soon as possible before it gets any worse. I hope that helps.
