Foreign objects in the eyes will cause the cat to shed tears. The owner should check whether there is anything in the cat's eyes. Cats with eyes that are too dry can also cause tears. Cats with eyes that are too dry will automatically secrete tears to moisten their eyes. Blocked nasal passages or blocked tear ducts can also cause cats to shed tears, especially flat-faced cats such as Garfield.

Foreign body in eye

When there is a foreign object in the cat's eyes or the eyelashes are too long, it will irritate the eyes and cause the cat to cry. When you see your cat crying suddenly, quickly check whether there is anything in the cat’s eyes.

Eyes too dry

If a cat’s eyes are too dry, it will need tears to moisten its eyes. At this time, the cat will automatically secrete tears, making its eyes look watery.

Nasal tear duct obstruction

Some cats, such as Garfield, have structural problems. When they open their mouths and stick out their tongues, the epiglottis cartilage in the mouth will cover the trachea, blocking ventilation and breathing in the mouth. This will prevent the cat from breathing through the mouth when the nose cannot ventilate. Due to the difficulty in breathing, the nasolacrimal duct cannot divert tears in time, which will cause tears to burst out of the cat's eyes.
