My cat is squinting one eye and seems sad. What should I do?

Question

My cat did something to his eye. He’s keeping one closed or squinted doesn’t look wet or irritated. He also won’t leave our laps and seems sad. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 months and 23 days old

He may have something in it like a hair or he could have injured it somehow. Place an e-collar (cone) on him and have him seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. A potential eye injury should be addressed sooner rather than later to prevent unnecessary pain, permanent damage or loss of vision.
