Why Is My Cat’s Eye Tearing Up? Causes and Care
Watery eyes in cats usually point to irritation, infection, or feline herpesvirus rather than simple sadness, and the discharge is often the first sign owners notice. Most cases improve with gentle at-home care and good hygiene, but persistent tearing deserves a veterinary check.
How Weather Affects Your Cat’s Mood and Health
Cats feel weather as keenly as people do, storms, cold, heat, and humidity all shift their mood and health. Watch for heatstroke and hypothermia in extremes, and keep the home between 20 and 25 C with sun, warmth, and steady routine.
Why Is My Cat Having Diarrhea Again?
Diarrhea is loose or unformed stool from food moving too fast through the gut to absorb water and nutrients, and it can be acute or chronic. Causes range from infections, parasites, and diet changes to stress and underlying gut disease; at home, keep water available, feed small frequent easily digested meals, and use smectite or pet probiotics for mild cases — but see a vet for blood, fever, lethargy, or ongoing diarrhea in an unvaccinated cat.

A kitten 'cold' is usually an upper respiratory infection — sneezing, runny nose, fever, watery eyes — driven by chill and weak immunity, and sometimes herpes or calicivirus. Keep it warm, boost nutrition (lysine, taurine), and see a vet if temperature tops 39.5°C.
Symptoms and Prevention of Coccidiosis in Cats
Feline coccidiosis causes soft stools, diarrhea, and jelly-like mucus or blood in the feces, hitting kittens with weak immunity hardest. The parasite lives in the small intestine and can cause hemorrhagic enteritis. Catch it with a fecal exam and treat with sulfonamides plus fluids; prevent it through regular deworming, avoiding contaminated soil, and isolating infected cats.

Which Cat Vaccines Are Optional
Many, but these are non-core vaccines for uncommon diseases; whether to give them depends on the cat's environment. In cat-heavy places with a confirmed case, a newcomer may be vaccinated for safety—or isolation may work better, since some vaccines aren't reliably effective.
