Hello
It seems from the history that you had a injury to the eye by cat's paw and now you are having pain while blinking eyes. This indicates that the scratch is involving the cornea causing pain.
The treatment of the condition is by antibiotic eye drops and artificial tears.
Since the cornea is affected most probably this requires examination by a eye doctor and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
