Then I recalled her repeatedly putting her head in a roll of old carpet waiting for the tip earlier in the day. Daft cat. She seems fine and no recurrence. The carpet has gone to the tip.

It's caused by a virus which she must have picked up when she was a feral kitten - when it flares up it causes tiny ulcers on the eye, which irritate it. Frustrating because the treatment is to put ointment in her eye, but only when there's a flare up - so we'd have to get an appointment quickly every time it happens as the ointment doesn't last long. So we just let it happen, it's usually very short-lived.

I have absolutely no idea how we would do this with Ellie - she is so lean and nimble and would wriggle out of it.
