13 year old all white cat, cloudiness in only one eye. Vision does not seem to be affected, still jumps up on high objects, like counters, table and dresser.

you need to take him to the vet. He could be going blind in that eye or it could very well be cataract. Cats can still function very well with just one, so just because he is still jumping around, does not mean he is unaffected. Please make a vet appt. today.

how previous is ur cat? commonly at the same time as cats become old thier eyes are susceptible to strengthen a cloudy white colour over thier eyes and may go away and come again.regrettably you could't do some thing about it and in case you visit the vet he will supply your kitty some thing for the paine (sure it hurts)(paine...reason for far less activity.. )if kitty is youthful it really is probally contaminated or some thing has been injured and kitty neeeds to work out the vet. ii do no longer propose any living house treaments pondering the delicacey of the eyes and how a lot kitty desires them

Might be a cataract.
I'm 22 and had cataract surgery when I was little, I still got one good eye and it works. (I can drive/jump do normal things, so maybe the cat can because one eye apparently is still working.)

It may be a cataract (though they are more common in dogs), or it may be a corneal ulcer. Your vet will be able to "flouresce" his eye. By placing a flourescing stain on his eye, your vet will be able to see more clearly what is going on inside his eye and on the surface. He will probably test the cat for glaucoma as well, which is a dangerous build-up of pressure inside the eye.
If it is a corneal ulcer, they are not too difficult to treat. You probably be putting artificial tears for moisture, atropine for pain and prednisolone for inflammation in his eyes a few times a day. Corneal ulcers can be quite painful, and glaucoma is an ocular emergency, so I would see your vet as soon as possible, and he or she can clear this up.

Definetly need to take it too the vet, most things don't bother cats until it's too late. It can be one of several things but one thing is for sure, it may be losing it's vision and that could spread to the other eye. Be safe and go now.

yes bring him to a vet asap. the cloudiness could also be a sign of infection. my aunt had a cat with a cloudy eye like that she brought it to the vet and they were able to give it something that helped but the cloudiness never fully went away.

I would bet it is definitely a cataract. I have known many blind animals though so if nature follows its course in that direction your cat should still be a good companion living with its nose.
