There are three main reasons for severe tear stains in kittens:

1. Getting angry: Cats are different from people in that they cannot eat food high in oil, salt and fat. The lacrimal glands secrete strongly and shed a lot of tears, so the tear stains will naturally become obvious.

2. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction: When the nasolacrimal duct is blocked, increased tear secretion and heavy tear stains will also occur. Mainly caused by the cat not drying after taking a bath, catching cold, and alternating between hot and cold.

3. Infection with germs: It may be infection with germs or parasites, or even conjunctivitis. At this time, you need to go to the pet hospital for treatment in time.

Tips

Cats shed tears to clean and moisten their eyeballs, which is normal. But if there are a lot of tears and the tear stains are very serious, the owner will need to pay attention. This may mean that there is some physical problem with the cat.
