Why Does My Cat Have Tear Stains?
In earlier years, tearful cats were rare. Most families, limited by finances, rarely bought purebred cats and instead kept native Chinese domestic cats; the few that did tear were mostly cases of blepharitis or feline rhinotracheitis carriers. Blepharitis was easily handled with a few-yuan tube of erythromycin eye ointment, while rhinotracheitis carriers often recovered on their own as immunity improved.

The Difference Between a Cat’s Leg Fracture and Sprain
To tell a fracture from a sprain, just see whether the cat puts weight on the paw when walking: if it does, it's a sprain; if not, it's a fracture. A leg fracture is generally more serious than a sprain and, without timely treatment, can disable the cat. Today we explain the difference.

Why Is My Cat Crying Reddish-Brown Tears?
Reddish-brown tear discharge in cats can be caused by overly salty food, a blocked nasolacrimal duct, or eye inflammation. Determine the specific cause from the actual situation and treat accordingly. If the cat recently ate salty food, it may be 'internal heat' causing more discharge that oxidizes to reddish-brown—adjust to a bland diet and offer more water. If the eyes are also red and swollen, inflammation is likely; see a vet.
