It sounds like your cat is experiencing some discomfort in its right eye, which can understandably be concerning. Eye discharge and squinting can result from various factors, such as infections, allergies, or even foreign objects in the eye. Here are a few steps you can take at home to help your cat:

First, gently clean the area around your cat's eye using a soft, damp cloth to remove any discharge. Be sure to avoid touching the eye itself to prevent further irritation. It's also beneficial to keep your cat in a calm environment, as this can help minimize any additional irritation.

While you're caring for your cat, keep an eye out for any additional symptoms like redness, swelling, or changes in behavior. Since this issue has been ongoing for 10 days, it's crucial to monitor for any changes. If the symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting a veterinarian. They can help rule out any underlying conditions and provide the appropriate treatment.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
