Eyes
Your cat’s eyes are also delicate sense organs. Its eyes should have a little shine to them and should not look dull or red. You should take care of your cat’s eyes regularly: use Sherley’s Eye Lotion eye drops to clean your cat’s eyes. This will stimulate the self-cleaning properties of the eyes through lacrimation (tears) to remove dust, dirt, etc. It is recommended to use eye drops twice a week.

Ears
If your cat is constantly trying to scratch its ears, you might have neglected cleaning them. Inspect your cat’s ears on a weekly basis and check for earwax. Remember never to use cotton buds or a sharp object with a wad of cotton on the end to clean your cat’s ears. Clean your cat’s ears regularly with Sherley’s Ear Cleaner: it will soften earwax and has a cooling effect. After treating your cat’s ears with this product, use some cotton wool to remove any earwax. If a brown substance comes out of your cat’s ear during cleaning, contact a veterinarian. Crusts or red skin should also be a cause of concern and result in a visit to your veterinarian.

With many cats, especially ones with a light coloured coat, the skin and coat around the eyes will show signs of discolouring because of tear stains. Sherley’s Tear Stain Remover remover can remove tear stains and crusts around the eyes and give the area around your cat’s eyes its shine back.

After a good romping about with your neighbour’s dog or cat, your pet might look a little disshevelled. If you notice the eyelid or connective eye tissue is damaged, use Beaphar Eye Ointment. It has a soothing, healing effect. If you are concerned about your cat’s health or if the damage is serious, do not hesitate to see a veterinarian.

Nails
If your cat can go outside and climb trees you probably will not have to cut its claws. Because Siamese (and related) cats have nails that can grow rather long, you can chip off a little bit from time to time with ordinary clippers (several types of nail clippers are available). Never cut down to the quick; it will be painful to your cat and can cause bleeding to occur. If need be, ask your veterinarian to clip your cat’s claws for you.
