Would you like a cup of tea puss?

For the last few days my male cat has had a weeping infected eye. Being a male everyone in the household knows when he’s not feeling well. Rather than taking him up to the vet and paying the public holiday surcharge I decided to try a remedy I heard a few years ago – washing his eye with cold tea. After trying that for 3 days he bounded on to the bed this morning with lovely clear green eyes. It is a remedy that can work for all eyes – human and non- human. No rubbish generated from eye drop bottles etc – just a tea bag that goes out into the garden and very little cost!
