Yeah his eye is fine, he has a blocked tear duct (since he was a kitten) and it swells sometimes. The vet isn't concerned and you can touch it and he doesn't mind; so no pain.
Once we drained it hoping it might fix it for him, but it comes back. So we do it every so often just so it doesn't interfere with his sight, not much else we are able to do.
Is that a cat or a werewolf?
Yeah.
Given that look, if you stopped him, youd better get your affairs in order before you go to sleep tonight
this wouldn't happen if you fed him once and a while!
Would keep going unless you stopped him, no shame? Is this my oldest cat with different fur?
Totally shameless, he is still trying to get back inside.
Well you know for sure you have a cat
Be careful with him now. Once had a cat who ate until he had a bowel obstruction after he found out how to open the cabinet with his food and we had to go to the vet :D
This was a concern, well him becoming too fat was the concern, but now this is as well lol.
It's been moved so he cannot get to it, and we repaired the lid so it doesn't come off so easily. Now he is just sitting where the box was looking desperate.
Edit: Hope your cat was okay.
Luckily he ate the laxative with the same enthusiasm as the rest of his food.
He swears that he didn't open it. It was already open.
The dog opened it and then took a nap on the other side of the house to avoid suspicion!
You keep it at ground level and accessible to your cat?
lol….
I keep mine on top of a 2m tall shelf, and my cat started jumping to it from the top of her cat tree.
Interestingly, she could have easily ripped open the plastic bags with her food in them, but she never did. She just pushed everything off the shelf.
