Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. She may be experiencing an allergic reaction to something in your new place or she may be developing an eye infection. She should see her veterinarian tomorrow to have her eyes addressed. You can ask about her hair loss as well. Stress can cause an increase in shedding which could have been brought on by your move. Allergies, mites or ringworm can all cause hairloss as well. I hope this information helps!
