Besides, it would be totally hypocritical for a cracker such as yourself to hate anything for bringing a genocidal plague to ravage an unsuspecting group of people.

I think my cat got merked by another cat.

Looks like he's got a scratch by his eye and there's fluid seeping out of his left eye and a bit from his right eye as well

Aw. You might wanna watch out to see if he gets any weird bulges in his skin. If a cat bites another cat it can cause an abscess, which is an infection that fills with fluid under the skin. If you don't catch them quick they can be really nasty and painful. They just keep getting worse without anti-biotics and can get really, really big. If it bursts you can usually see into the hole it leaves and it just looks like a big cavity in the cat's flesh. Kind of thing that makes you want to throw up. I imagine an animal in the wild may very well die from one eventually. If you see a bulge where the hair has fallen out then it definitely has an abscess and needs to go to the vet.

Cheers Batty was hoping someone would post some advice. It just looks like a tear running down his face at the moment, and a bit of blood around his eye, and then another small tear on his other eye, he isn't opening his eyes much either but he does that regularly. Will keep an eye on him, he seems sad and has just been sleeping for the past few hours, he's eaten his dinner though so that's a good sign?

I imagine if it's a surface wound like your cat's eye it'll probably be fine (don't take my word for it though as I don't have much experience with surface wounds). It can be easy to miss an abscess. He might have been bitten just about anywhere and the fur would hide any wound, even after it started to get infected. I don't know how to find one until it gets big enough to notice, so just keep an eye out. If he stops eating that's obviously a bad sign, but they might still be eating even with one depending on how advanced it is.

He had conjunctivitis btw.

His eyes were basically dried shut this morning. Got some drops for him.
