my cats second?

Question

my cats second eye lids are half open is this an illness or just normal apart form that hes in good health

Answer 1

This can be a sign of the cat being under the weather; it could be a simple eye infection or something more sinister.
If the cat seems OK and is still active and eating just keep a close eye on him and see if any other symptoms develop. I have a Maine Coon who gets this problem on a regular basis - he has had many problems and has a weak immune system as a result. When the eyelids come across we keep him inside for a few days; if there is discharge coming from the eyes clean them gently with damp cotton wool. My cat, Marlon's, usually clear up in a couple of days. If he starts to show any other worrying signs (off his food, weight loss etc) get him checked over by a vet.

Answer 2

Is that the inner lid (color white)? When the inner lid closes almost half-way accross the cats eyes, it often mean intestinal problems such as worms. Take the cat to the vet with a stool sample (cat's poo). They can check andeither confirm or rule out worms.

Answer 3

I would think there is something wrong there, as I had a cat a few years back and I don't ever remember that happening!
Get it checked out!!
It's better to be safe than sorry

Answer 4

It would be their 3rd eyelid or nictating membrane and it is not 'normal' unless their eyelids are partially closed in pleasure. It can be a breed defect or an infection if it is constantly that way, otherwise not to worry.

Answer 5

It should not be that way and is a sign of many illnesses. Please have kitty looked at. It can be simple or serious but either way, the kitty isn't happy and actually could go blind.

Answer 6

Could have something in the eyes. But I don't know how you would check it.

Answer 7

Answer 8
