Why Does Your Persian Cat Keep Tearing Up
Persistent tearing in Persian (Exotic) cats can have several causes. Their short nasal passages and shallow eye sockets make mild tearing normal, but blocked tear ducts, structural gland issues, conjunctivitis, keratitis, injury, or foreign particles can all increase eye discharge. Diet also plays a role: salty food and low water intake lead to internal heat and heavy tear staining. If tearing continues or comes with redness, fever, poor appetite, vomiting, or diarrhea, see a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment.

A cat with one swollen, tearing, discharging eye—but no sneezing or runny nose—most likely has a bacterial conjunctivitis rather than a viral one.

An ingrown lash, though, needs a vet to remove.
