My boy kitten, Wilber, is 5 months old. He is active still and seems healthy.
However, i have been noticing his eyes watering a lot... and white... discard coming from them. Is he sick? I dont know what to do. I cant take him to the vet this week, and he is acting normally.
Can someone give me ideas to what might be causing his eyes to water?
Please keep in mind I have a female kitten (same age from same litter) and I haven't seen her eyes watering as much. They were just spayed and neutered 3 weeks ago but i dont think that is the problem?
Please help!

take him to a vet
heres an idea, GO TO THE VET!
sounds fatal but oh well it is just a cat
White watery discharge is usually conjunctivitis(pink eye). Is his inner eye lid pinkish and swollen? My cat just had this and her vet gave us eye drops they cost us only $6.99 and works great.
Cats just like people can get colds in their eyes, cats will normally have a white discharge in their eyes when this happens, until your able to take him to the vet just occasionally wipe his eyes with a soft cloth or tissue. When you take him to the vet, the vet will probably give you an ointment that you'll have to apply to cats eyes a few times a day until it clears up. In the mean time if the boy cat who's sick starts sneezing then you need to take him to the vet quickly and keep him away from your other cat so it doesn't spread to her too.
Sounds like an eye infection. Cats get them pretty often. It's usually treated with Terramycin (an antibiotic). Some pet store sell it without a prescription, but most don't.
In any case, it's not very serious so don't worry too much if you have to wait until next week to take him to the vet. Or maybe it will be better by then anyway.

Personal experience.
Why can't you take your cat to the vet this week? If it's a matter of money, talk to the vet and ask if you can set up a payment plan. It sounds like your kitten has an upper respiratory infection or an eye infection, either of which can be highly contagious to your other cat. Cat's eyes don't normally water, and any discharge is not normal. It sounds infected. Your vet can give Wilber a shot of a long acting antibiotic called Convenia, so you don't have to give him pills every day, but you must have him seen to and soon. If you don't, you're not being a responsible owner.
