Why do cats cry when eating? Cats may cry because their eyes are irritated, such as spicy ingredients in food. Additionally, they may also cry because their eyes have some inflammation, or their eyeballs have been damaged.

1. Cats cannot eat some food that is too salty. If they eat too salty, they will secrete a large amount of saliva. When the saliva is secreted, the tear glands will also secrete, which will cause tears to occur.

2. Cats have a very sensitive sense of smell and are far higher than humans, so cats will be easily stimulated by some odors. Or cats' food contains irritating ingredients, such as chili peppers, which will cause cats to choke and shed tears.

3. Short-nosed cats with special facial structures, such as British short, hetero short, Persian cats, etc., will cry while eating because the nasolac duct is too short.

4. Clogging of nasal lacrimal duct caused by a cold can also cause tears when eating, but if the cat eats no matter what food it eats, even without eating, or the tears shed are relatively turbid, you need to pay special attention at this time. Most of the cats have problems with nasolac ducts, so it is recommended to send them to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
