My cat, Handsome, has gooey, liquidy, sticky stuff in his eye that is enabling him to open his left eye.

Matter flowing from the eyes is called an ocular discharge and is a principal sign of eye disease. In simplest form, it represents the response of the eye to an irritation or injury or an inability to properly drain tears or secretions. The exact cause can only be determined by a careful examination and appropriate diagnostic tests. So take your cat to the vet. Do NOT use any human eye products on your cat. If you wish to clean up around the eye, use a damp cloth and gently wipe around the eye.

maybe you should wipe it out of his eye with a towel lightly its not a infection its just the eye boogers

Enabling him to open his eye?? Cats normally have discharge under there eyes, but usually it does not prevent the cat from opening its eyes. I would bring your cat to the vet now, just to make sure. Your cat may have been poked in the eye, that is why it is not opening its eye. Hope this helps, Johnisgood2
