Thread: Dirty eyes

Yes we often have this too with our red MCs. I really think it is just more visible with the red and other light colored cats--not more frequent. Our other cats are all black around their eyes so you cannot easily see any residue (even so we do sometimes see it on them). I know that we used to worry about this, but it is apparently normal. Seems to get better as they get older--i.e., it is more frequent in kittens. It is generally very easy to remove with your finger! Does not look good in photos, of course. I have had to "photoshop" a number of photos of our big red male to remove the dark eye residue bits from an otherwise great photo. I am quite good at doing this now (takes some practice to get the edits to look natural).
