Your cat's frequent squinting and blinking in her right eye may indicate discomfort or an underlying issue. While it could be minor, it's important to keep an eye on her symptoms.
- Observe your cat for any other symptoms, such as redness or discharge in her eye.
- Note any behavior changes, like pawing at her eye or sleeping more than usual.
- Consider reaching out to a veterinarian if the issue persists or worsens.
Cats can develop eye irritation due to various reasons, such as a foreign body, an injury, or an infection. Keeping her comfortable and monitoring her symptoms can help determine if veterinary intervention is needed. If her condition does not improve or if you notice additional symptoms, it's best to consult with a veterinarian to ensure her eye health.
