Eye wetness

Question
We have a Russina Blue that adopted us as an abondoned cat. She is appx. 6 lbs. She seems to be squinting her left eye and there is clear, thin, watery discharge. No inflamation is visable.

Answer
your cat is most likely having a herpes flare up ( you cannot get this).  You can take her to the vet to make sure there is not conjunctivitis going on and put her on L-lysine (found in vitamin stores) and give her 500mg twice daily crushed on food. Its a nice over the counter way of helping with it.
