The eye thing is a chronic issue that becomes more and more bothersome the older they get. My seal point Hymmie has the same problem. It seems when they're older, their immune system isn't on the ball as much and a lot of things like that crop up.
The vet gives an ointment for the eyes. But, they used to have these great black lined eyes that have become red and swollen now. It's a shame. I don't know if it's an allergy because the problem comes and goes randomly. But, now that they're older, the problem has become more severe.
It looks terrible, I know. But, that's the breaks. There really isn't much the vet can offer to stop it. Prednisone clears it up, but it comes back even worse. Eye ointment heals it up, but the scabs keep coming back.

I have learned from watching my kitty Miss Mew that she teaches me the real definition of relaxation and not to stress out..... She has it down to a science!
