Hi guys, My two year old Bengal cat has recently started tearing from one eye. This has been going on for about two weeks or so- she has no redness or puffiness around either eye and rarely squints, but there is always wetness or discharge from the corner of one eye. Also, although I don't know if they correlate at all, my cat has been gradually eating less and less. We have made no significant changes to wet or dry food, but whereas a few months ago she could finish a dish of food, now she only eats maybe less than half. Boiled chicken and treats used to be her favorite things in the world, but now sometimes even when I offer a small dish of chicken she just nibbles at it and walks away. She has lost a bit of weight and is on the thin side for bengals, but she doesn't look anorexic or skin-and-bones either, so I don't know if this is abnormal. Can you guys offer up possible explanations for her tearing and loss of apetite? She appears healthy, but I'm a little concerned in case these are signs to bigger problems. Thank you all for your contributions!
P.S. I have another cat as well, but his behavior is complete normal. I haven't been to any shelters or such either, so the possibility of catching an outside disease is low.
