Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Squinting of the eye is due to pain - that is not seen with allergies. Most often, in cats, the pain is due to an ocular herpes virus infection or a scratch on the corneal surface. I suggest you take him to the vet for an examination.
