    dirty eyes

    I noticed on a few pictures that some of your coonies have the same issue as Neevie: some stuff stuck to their eyelashes that never seems to go. It's always in the same place, it doesn't go away with a wet cotton ball. It doesn't seem to bother her at all, she's quite happy with it, but I am just wondering about it - should I make an effort to clean it up or just leave it (since I suspect that even if I clean it, it will probably come back within a day or too and then I worry that constant rubbing might bring an infection)
    I think I answered my own question but would be curious to know what you all think.

    Alekto, I asked the vet about that, and she said that her face is flat and the tears run down her face. This makes quite a sticky mess. I take a rough white wash cloth, soak it in warm water and wring it out. I use this to wipe her eyes ears and nose. She loves the feeling( like mum licking her face) although she like to play "hard to get" The vet said there is not much we can do about it, maybe shell grow out of it, maybe not. I think Persian cats have the same issue. If we are talking about the same thing.
