naw, she is tough.

it doesnt seem to bug her too much. im just afraid that if it gets left untreated it could get worse. but i dont know if IM just the one that needs to man up and quit worrying.

It's nothing to worry over. Because of their small noses the eye tear a lot. Snoring is also pretty common. Just clean her face once in a while so it doesn't irritate the skin. Water and some q-tips should suffice but you can look into some cleaning products. Staining is a bitch since it won't get removed with simple washing but it's not something that bothers the cat in any way so, unless you're looking to put her in a show, don't worry about it.

I hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure your cat is plotting you demise. There is nothing but sheer contempt in its eyes.

Happens to my Himalayan cat.

Not really a big deal, just clean up your cat's eyes every so once in a while.

What an awful looking thing. It looks like someone just kicked her in the face, and now she's crying blood.

thanks for all the input.

didnt expect to see this threat still alive.

i took her to the vet today and they gave her some drops to help with bacterial infection.

apparently her rubbing at it was causing a sore in the corner of her eye, so having the drops will help alleviate the itching.

thanks /an/ for the responses~!
