Do you think his walking around outside would be enough, or definitely not?

I wouldn’t worry unless they’re showing signs of pain(Meowing without reason, trying to rub eyes but then yelps or jumps in pain, etc.) or signs of blindness (Running into furniture head on, getting confused if you move a piece of furniture and running into piece of furniture, etc.) And my kitties do this all the time. Usually there’s several reasons why this happens. 1) They have something in their eyes such as goo from sleeping, almost like eye boogers, 2)They are really tired and might have allergies or a cold, 3)They love you (Cats don’t like looking straight into your eyes, they like to almost squint in love, and looking from the corner of their eyes and slow blinking it shows that they love and respect you) 4)They got something stuck in their eyes. If I were you I’d first go and examine their eyes yourself. Check for eye boogers and wipe it away gently if its there. Kitty won’t like this but it has to be done. Look for something in your kitty’s eyes. If you see anything ask yourself if this is something you’d be willing to take out of a child’s eye or something you’d take the child to the doctor for. If it’s something you’d be willing to take out of a child’s eye, first go and wash your hands with soap and water, clip finger nails down so you don’t accidentally poke kitty’s eye and then gently remove the object from the eye. Read kitty’s signal to determine if your kitty is simply angry with you trying to take this out of their eye or if they are crying in pain. If kitty is simply meowing in complaint, continue. If kitty is doing anything and everything to get away from you and is screaming DO NOT continue. Take time to reconsider if you accidentally poked kitty’s eye or if the object is lodged in the eye. If it’s lodged, go to the vet. If you simply had an unsteady hand, you can try again. If you don’t feel comfortable trying again maybe ask a friend to come and try, or simply go to the vet or a pet clinic. If there is nothing in the eye, or if there was eye boogers, wait a couple days and monitor their activity. Do they show signs of sickness, are they sleeping more? Sneezing? If they don’t show any signs, have changes in urine or stools, or change in appetite, but they do show signs of a human like cold they most likely just have seasonal allergies or a little cold. Don’t fret, its not something to be worried about for now. Do a quick google search for some pet safe allergy solutions, my vet has told me that some human medications may be a cheaper but still safe alternative to pet medication. I would do your research and find out what would work best for the symptoms and size and age of your cat. If the cold worsens or more symptoms appear maybe post on here again, and or go to the vet. Just use your best judgement. If there is no sickness, and nothing in their eyes, no signs of blindness, your kitty simply loves you and you need to brush up and learn about kitty language. Cats are subtle creature and demand and need you to know how to read their body language. Cats tell us everything we need to know if we only do our homework and learn to speak cat. They tell us when they’re hungry, that they are mad, happy, sad, in love, afraid, in pain, need the litter scooped, and much more. Do your research and your kitty will be the happiest kitty alive. I hope this helps, let me know if you need help, you can contact me at: emmakat8@live.com
I am a very experienced cat owner and I’m happy to help. I hope it all works out!

Thank you, Kelly! It’s the angle of the picture. I had a normal looking one to post, but this one shows her mouth better. She does have fleas. I gave her an Rx oral med from the vet a month ago and it didn’t work. So I gave her a combo of Capstar and Program last night and have a spray to spray what I can’t wash to get any remaining eggs & larva. Maybe she has a flea allergy and this will be what she needs.

I’ve done TNR with 8 feral cats over the past year. She was about 5 months old when I took her, but has been very much untamed and fearful of the sight of me until about 3 months ago when I discovered the power of fish. In that time she has begun sleeping and spending much of her days in the house (I put in a cat door and she still insists on using the big “litter box” outside instead of the one I got her. Just this week she started climbing up on me when I’m lying down and using me for her bed. =) I can pet her just about any way I want to without getting injured now, but I can’t pick her up or do anything that seems threatening to her without her running and hiding (i.e. walking fast, carrying the mail, any attempt to use anything on her except my hand). So catching her to take to the vet has had me in a quandary. The humane trap is too traumatic for her AND me. I stopped by the vet’s office today and they said they could give me a sedative to give her so she would be sleeping and I could bring her in. She had a rabies shot when she was spayed, but she’ll need another one in November. And she hasn’t been tested for FeLV/Fiv.

That’s TMI, I know. I tend to get wordy, but thank you so much for your response! I will definitely take your advice now that I know there’s a way to get her to the vet without trauma, and hopefully we’ll get this taken care of quickly.

you gotta take him to the vet.:)

He won’t lay his head down or nothing and if you touch the right side of his head and neck he cries out.

I took him to the vet, he’s back to his normal self now ☺☺☺☺

How could just wrapping this be the answer?  Looks like it needs a major repair!
