gunk in eyes

Stoli sometimes gets a tiny piece of hair or eye junk on top of his eye. it doesn't seem to bother him but I want to get it out so bad. i know when i have somehting on my eye it irritates the heck out of me. is this the same with cats? is there something i can do? why does this happen?

are you talking about the sleepy stuff everyone has in their eyes in the morning after waking up? i just get it out for them or let it come out by itself.

or something else? same thing )

nope not the sleepies, like clear gunk on his eyeball or a small piece of hair

Usually it will just come off as the cat blinks. you would know if it bothered your cat. He would be blinking and rubbing his eye and it may water a bit. If none of these things are happening then I wouldn't worry too much. Normally I would suggest using a warm wet washcloth to wipe it off but since it is on the eyeball itself you run the risk of scratching or damaging the eye.

I know exectly what you mean though. My cats get it sometimes. It goes away on its own.

ok, i'll let it be, just looking at it makes my eyes hurt though
