"kitten...down...get down...get...kitten..KITTEN...don't make me come over there!"

Yes I am bathing Shula's eyes with warm boiled water. I think they may be getting a little better and am fairly sure its something to do with the Catsan dust. Am in the process of changing over to the wood pellets as you say, mixing the two at the moment.

Have also been reading up on what is in the wet cat food. Didn't realise there was so little actual meat in it. Have bought some Hilife which Shula likes, also some Burns, and have also sent for some of the other stuff i've seen recommended on here, begins with a B I think, from Sweden,(suffering short term memory loss, must be my age). She doesn't seem to be a fussy eater, but definitely likes the 'real meat' pouches best.

When the weather here has improved (we are knee deep in snow) I will take her to the vet if the eyes are not completely better. By the way Shula had a vet check when she was at the sanctuary. But I do need to have her chipped as well.

Re the photos. I dont have a camera, but my nephew will take some pics of the cat when he next visits and will show me how to post them. He'll enjoy that!

I think it'll be Bozita. That's the one I use and so do a few others on here. You might find she doesn't like some of the flavours, the beef ones seem to cause the runs in some cats too but it's a good quality food. The Hi Life pouches are high in meat too so if she like those, they'll be a good food for her.

Hi Cheshirecat,

Try gently dabbing her eyes with a tea solution - Tea is a natural antiseptic and works wonders on eyes. Just a little diluted tea on cotton wool 2-3 times a day should clear the eyes if the problem is connected to litter/house dust etc...

If the problem persists after 2-3 days, then I would make an appointment at your vets to rule out any URI's
