My cat has watery, squinting eyes. Is it serious? Should I see a vet?

Question

I was away for 2 days and when I came back, my cat has watery eyes and is squinting. She is still drinking and eating and using the litter box. I read online it might be pink eye or allergies. What might it be? Should I take her into the vet right away or wait a few days to see if it clears up? Thank you.

If you are noticing squinting, I recommend to have her examined. Squinting generally indicates pain and this could be from an infection or an ulcer on the cornea. Also, make sure she is not rubbing the area as this can make it worse. Stormy may need to wear an elizabethan collar. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
