I think some Cats can be prone to eye problems, particularly if they have been ill or had a rough start. My friends Cat has runny eyes and she has to clean them frequently.
She is a beautiful little girl and i admire you for taking her on and caring so much.
Keep the pics and stories coming

It will certainly help. I personally prefer a comb as it seems to get more loose fur, but either is good. Is it possible for you to find a grooming tool there called the FURminator? Or order one on line? It is unbelievable how much dead loose fur it removes!

Here's a link to a rather long thread about the FURminator and our opinions/experiences about it.

As Eileen has said, brushing will certainly help and if she enjoys it it's a good way to bond as well .

Talk about relaxed! She looks well settled. How is the shedding coming along?

I know the cat I'm fostering had a rough life on the streets of Bangkok and I do have to clean around her eyes often because they get dirty from the water running off her eyes. Can you tell me how her rough start is related to her eyes?

In return more photos of Happy!




Crazy cat! Why you sleep on head like that?

Love the pics, they're so cute curled up like that.
I assume when cats have had a rough start and a poor diet that all the body systems are affected, including the immune system. Whilst some things will always stay the same, say perhaps stunted growth, others things can improve with a good diet and lots of TLC.
I'm not medical and this is only my idea of how things can be affected by a bad start.

Some cats do just have more discharge than others. I have 3 persians and one especially (typically the lightest coloured one) has the worst brown tears. Unless the discharge is green and obviously infected I would suggest wiping with cotton wool pads and warm water morning and evening.

I do have one cat that is prone to eye infections. Nothing to do with her history as she's been spoilt since a kitten but she just seems more likely to get infections. Easily treated with antibiotic eye drops - 2 time a day for 5 days.
