My cat has a watery eye. Is it an infection or something serious?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed

left eye is watery at times she also has a fluffy tail like goosebumps around her spine. i did doubt for poisoning coz i had a similar case with her sister (unfortunately couldn't save her) and she too showed symptoms of sort. now she is ok yet the eye scares me.

It looks as Quatro is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in cats. you will need to take her to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.
