This is interesting to read. Thanks for this. Our cat's left eye sometimes seems to water. I asked my wife if there are any lilies in the house and she said no, but I just did a Google search and found that the "peace plant" she has next to the front door is a species of lily. Precious doesn't spend much time near that plant—she just passes it en route to and from the downstairs bathroom where the litterbox is—but I wonder if there may be pollen in the air from that plant that might be bothering her.

May be worth inquiring of the vet next week when we take her in to have her nails cut.


Indeed - although the main concern is with ingestion, either deliberate (chewing flowers or leaves) or accidental (cat gets lily pollen on its fur as it passes by, then ingests the pollen while washing: this can be a particular problem if near neighbours grow lilies in their garden...) Glad to see that Precious has clearly settled in. :D
