well this is hard to say without a Vet exam to determine if the discharge is due to an infection or disease??
Does your kitty have any other symptoms? hows the appetite etc?

some cats particularly those with a 'break' in their nose...(short nose) such as persians/himalayans (and other breeds) are prone to a discharge because their tear ducts cannot drain properly, when the tears come into contact with the air the oxidation will cause the discharge to turn reddish brown.

If you think kitty is suffering from any eye or other disease it would be a very good idea to have him examined to find out exactly what you are dealing with

keep us posted or have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask. perhaps someone else on here can also offer suggestions.
