What's up with all the eye boogers in my cat's eyes

Every morning I'm cleaning out eye boogers from Abbott's eyes (Evita doesn't get them). Is he just a cruddy cat or should I be worried.

Please - suggestions from other cat owners?

Thanks!

1. Sara gets them too,, Some cats are better washers than others

as long as his eyes are not weepy, and they look clear, he's probably a slob :)

2. You're saying the cuddliest cat in the world is a.....SLOB???

Then again he had cat acne, Abbott probably is one. But he's great at licking himself - typical man!

3. We have so many cats, that they take turns washing each other

Sara is a biter though, so the others don't appreciate washing her while she bites them ...go figure :)

4. Allergies.

I know it sounds silly, but my cat gets them, too and it sucks because he's all white so they stick out like a sore thumb on his pretty little face. The vet told us it is from allergies. He sneezes alot, too. :)

5. If the boogers are green she may have an eye infection

My cat KC had an eye infection that turned out to be a herpes infection. Check out the Cat Fancy magazine with 'Herpes Wink'
