Introduction

As a cat owner, you know that felines are little bundles of joy. They’re playful and entertaining, and they love to cuddle. But like any other pet, cats can suffer from an array of health issues that their owners need to be aware of. In this post, we’ll be discussing four main concerns when it comes to cats’ eyes: conjunctivitis (pink eye), outdoor exposure, topical medications, and overgrown claws. We’ll explain what these issues are along with how they manifest themselves so you can keep your precious kitty healthy!

Don’t let your cat outside.

It’s important to know that outdoor cats are more likely to get eye infections, as they are exposed to more dirt and dust. If your cat is injured and loses an eye, it could be a painful experience for them and it may even affect their vision.

If you love having your pet outside but worry about the potential risks of this, there are ways you can take precautions. For example:

• Make sure your cat has adequate protection from the sun by providing shade or a parasol when he goes outside on sunny days
• Don’t let him roam free around other animals who might hurt him in some way (or vice versa)

Keep an eye out for conjunctivitis (pink eye).

Next, it’s important to recognize and treat conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is the medical term for “pink eye.” It’s a condition where your cat’s eye will become inflamed and irritated. This can be caused by allergies or environmental irritants such as dust, smoke, or pollen.

If you’re not sure whether or not your cat has pink eye, look out for these symptoms:

• Eye discharge (often clear)
• Redness around the eyes
• Swollen eyelids

If you notice any of these signs in one or both of your cat’s eyes, see a vet immediately! He or she will prescribe an antibiotic ointment that needs to be applied daily until their infection clears up completely.

If you’re using topical medications on your cat, make sure they don’t get in her eyes.

When you’re treating a cat for an eye infection, it’s especially important to use the correct dosage of medication. If you’re using topical medications on your cat, make sure they don’t get in her eyes.

If you do accidentally get some of the medication in your cat’s eyes, wash them with water and gently wipe with a cotton ball. Make sure that your pet doesn’t rub their face against anything as this could cause more irritation.

Cats need their claws for climbing and self-defense, but if kept too long, they can cause discomfort by growing into your cat’s paw pads.

You might not know it, but cats use their claws for climbing and self-defense. When they aren’t using them to do those things, they often take care of business by licking and cleaning them. If your cat keeps his or her claws too long, however, it may cause discomfort by growing into your cat’s paw pads.

If you don’t want to declaw your cat (for fear of infection or because it’s against your personal beliefs), there are other options available to trim their claws safely and effectively:

• Purchase a nail clipper designed for cats: These tend not only to be inexpensive but also very easy to use—just follow the directions on the package! You can find these online or at pet supply stores.
• Ask a veterinarian how best to cut down on how long your kitty’s nails get without having them removed entirely: While veterinite/clipping isn’t ideal either physical therapy from someone trained with domesticated animals could help teach yours how balance themselves better when standing upright again without needing so much support from those sharp little weapons being extended outwards around all sides like tiny daggers ready at any moment–no matter where they may end up going if he/she ever decides enough is enough already!

A few simple precautions can go a long way toward protecting your cat’s eyes.

Keeping your cat indoors is the best way to protect her eyes.

If you have an outdoor cat, you’ll need to take special precautions for her health and safety. If she’s outside at night, there’s a higher risk of being attacked by a predator—such as another animal or human—and therefore having an eye injury. If she’s out during the day, she could be hit by a car or suffer from heat exhaustion if it gets too hot outside or in the sun. A few simple precautions can go a long way toward protecting your cat’s eyes:

• Make sure your indoor-outdoor cat has proper identification that includes information about where he lives and his owner contact information
• Keep him on leash when taking him outdoors so he doesn’t wander off (and get lost) too far away from home
• Consider getting regular veterinary checkups for both indoor-only cats and outdoor ones

Conclusion

If you follow these tips, you’ll be able to help your cat live a long and healthy life.
