We got Baozi (Scottish Fold Straight ear) a month ago at 5 months old. He's such a sweetheart! Great gentle personality and very loving, but one thing that bugs me is he has a lot of eye boogers - not incredibly a lot but more than our non-breed cat!
Baozi's eyes are NOT all crusty and gross, but there's just a reddish / brown collection at the inside corner of both eyes and you see a little brown dry "eye booger" string by his eye and on his fur.
However, it's not super liquid-like that it's dripping down his eyes like I see in Persians. From what I gather, Scottish Folds are short-nosed breeds and these breeds tend to have issues with their tear production, hence produce for eye boogers?
He's completely healthy + eyes are nice and bright and not irritated, it's just can I eliminate this problem for good? I usually just take a soft facial tissue and wipe it off very gently.
