Hello. May I know what's wrong with my cat's left eye and ways to overcome it? In the morning it's all okay and then in the evening I have to wipe his left eye because he can't open it.

It looks as Louie is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in cats. you will need to take him to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.

Why does my cat have eye boogers? My cat's eyes is watering. I clean almost 3 times a day.
My kitten eyes always looks sore we clean them and also had eyedrops, the ring of the eye is red and eye is watery he also sometimes wakes up with the right eye stuck together. He seems happy and playful what could it be? Photos not great as he would

What is wrong with my cat? He has gooey eyes very liquidy sometimes and his eye sometimes gets shut from the liquid coming out of his eye.
My cat is suddenly blinking one eye and keeping it more closed than the other. I see a little discharge in the corner and around the bottom lid.
I noticed this oozing on my cats eye a couple days ago but just thought it was an “eye booger”. Now I noticed today he barely opens the eye and the stuff around the eye looks like blood?
Extremely red left eye and mucousy discharge along with sticking of eye and difficulty in opening.
