Should I take my kitty to the vet?
His eye is watering a lot, he's started sneezing a lot this morning, he won't be in rooms with the light on and hides alone in dark rooms, and he started pawing at his eye yesterday morning. It's been about 4 days that his eye has been doing this and I'm not sure of how the sneezing and eye watering are related though I assume they are.
He's got an appointment. Thanks guys!

A couple of these symptoms are common for an eye injury - corneal abrasion. The tearing, hiding, not wanting to be in a lighted room and pawing at the eyes indicate the eye is painful. He does need to see a vet to rule this out as it can get worse with possible loss of sight if not treated properly. The sneezing could be related although it is more of an issue of an upper respiratory infection. Please get him seen today - he is obviously in pain. Do NOT use anything in the eyes until the problem is known - OTC medications can make the problem worse. Please let us know what is found.

It's very much related, and the symptom of an upper respiratory infection. See if you can get him in to the vet today - he will need antibiotics from the vet, possibly both an oral one and an ointment for the eye. When cats get all stuffed up they stop eating, and then you can go from a sick cat to a very sick cat in short order.
