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.
