Blocked Tear Ducts In Cats !!hot!! Jun 2026

“Is it painful?” Sophie asked, stroking Mochi’s back as he purred on the exam table.

“Oh, buddy,” she whispered, cupping his squishy Persian face. “What happened?”

And in a way, it was true. Mochi’s blocked tear ducts didn’t stop him from purring louder than any cat she’d known. They didn’t stop him from sprinting sideways across the living room at 3 a.m. They didn’t stop him from headbutting her coffee mug every single morning.

“Not usually,” Dr. Lian said. “It’s more of a cosmetic nuisance. But we should flush the duct to make sure there’s no infection or debris.”

Sophie first noticed the problem when she went to kiss Mochi’s forehead. Instead of the usual soft, dry bump of fur, her lips met a damp, rusty streak beneath his left eye.

She leaned down and kissed the top of his weepy head.

Sophie held her breath.
