Your cat's eyes tearing up may result from environmental allergens like pollen, or it could be due to another irritant outside. While occasional eye-watering can be normal, persistent symptoms should be evaluated.
- Eye-watering might be due to pollen or other outdoor allergens.
- Observe if your cat's symptoms persist or worsen.
- Consult a vet if you notice additional symptoms like redness or discharge.
Cats can be sensitive to environmental changes, including allergens like pollen, which can lead to their eyes watering. It's worth observing if this happens repeatedly or if any other symptoms accompany it. If it's a one-time occurrence, it may not be a significant issue, but ongoing symptoms should be discussed with a vet.
