My cat was licking some honey off my finger and she knocked my finger into her eye with some honey on it . Do I use pet wipes or can I use a warm cloth to help get it out? She has tried cleaning it but she keeps squinting

Poor Boots! You can use a warm washcloth or cotton ball, or try rinsing her eye with plain saline eye wash. If she's still squinting and acting uncomfortable by tomorrow, then I would recommend taking her to the vet for an exam as she may have damaged her cornea.
