- The Science Behind the Stains: Persian cats have flat faces with short tear ducts. This can cause normal tears to overflow and stain the fur.
- Gentle Does It: Twice a day, use warm water on a soft cloth (cotton pad, gauze, or tissue) to wipe away discharge.Start from the inner corner of the eye and gently sweep outwards. Use a fresh cloth for each eye to avoid spreading bacteria.
- Eye-approved Solutions: If water isn’t enough, consult your vet about eye cleaning solutions specifically formulated for cats. These solutions are gentle and effective for removing stubborn discharge.
- Bonus Tip: Keeping your Persian’s face clean and free of debris can minimize irritation and tear production.
Remember, consistency is key! With a little daily TLC, you can keep those gorgeous Persian eyes sparkling and stain-free.
