      My cats both had severe untreated syphilis when they were kittens which fucked up their sinuses. One of them just has a leaky eye but the other has two fucked up inner eyelids, two leaky eyes, and a VERY leaky nose. She will have sneezing fits randomly and it’s like D-Day. We take cover or quickly scoot her to the hardwood floor to limit what she covers in snot lmao. Love them both to death though

          It’s actually very common for cats! It’s spread by saliva mainly, from cats biting or scratching each other so my cats are strictly indoors. Though I’m pretty sure mine got it from their mom. They were rescues, brought in to my roommates clinic where she works as a vet technician.

      Thank you for understanding that I was joking, lol. Yeah, I’ve lived with some drooly boys too—some of the sweetest cats I’ve known.
