Why is my cat's eye squinting and watering but he's acting normal?

Question

I was looking at my kitty rarlier and noticed one if his eyes was squinting a bit more than the other. I noticed his eye is watering (his eye is not red). It has never done that before and wasn’t like that, not even earlier today. We have just moved homes and it is a tad colder, but I am not sure if that is even a variable. He is still playing with his toys and jumping around his tree though! Should i wait a few more days or do I need to act sooner? Thanks :). Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered | 4 years and 2 months old

It is possible that your kitty is getting an upper respiratory infection, or has a bit of an allergic reaction or, during the move, got into a draft or got dust in his eye. I would watch him for a few days. Should the squinting get worse, or should he get a purulent discharge (yellow or green) or should he start to sneeze or cough, there is still time to take him to a vet then.
