We have a burmese kitten that is 7 months old. I noticed the other day that it squints in one eye. Also this eye doesn't look as black as the other and reflects light. What could it be?

squinting is a sign of pain. You should take her to the vet as she might have scratched her cornea and that could lead to permanent damage if it's not taken care of.

There is a condition that cats can get called kitty herpes virus. It effects the eyes making them runny and gooey. I have one cat who has this. He got it while he was in the animal shelter. It is very contagous although my other cat did not get it. You should take your kitty to the vet and let them determine what the condition is. This does not go away, but sometimes it is better than other times. There are drops and creams the vet can give you. GOOD LUCK!

It could either be due to infection or injury. Best get checked by the vet as leaving things like this too long can lead to poor eyesight or blindness

It could be several things, from a simple hair in the eye to glaucoma. A vet could examine your kitty and tell you better.
Good luck!

Often times cats and dogs scratch their eyes because of the woods and bushes they play in. You can ge gel or drops from your local vet.
