I have a cat that's 6 weeks old. Her eyes look hazy like they're underdeveloped. Will they ever develop?

Question

She can run and jump just fine. She never bumps into things. She's even more active than my other two cats.

She looks like she is Siamese or Colorpoint Shorthair.

Answer 1

Does she act as if she can see, does she bump into things?
It takes time for the pupils to mature, talk with you vet for guidance.
She may have cataracts which is a cloudy covering over part or all of the eye.

Answer 2

Have a vet take a look. Cats are prone to a lot of upper respiratory infections that affect the eyes, nose, mouth, and lungs. Sometimes, if a kitten was affected by such an illness when very young, the eyes can be permanently scarred. It can also be a sign of an active infection that may respond to treatment. Eye medication is generally pretty inexpensive,.

Answer 3

The best thing to do is to call the vet and ask someone there. they should be able to tell a probable cause and if there is anything you should be doing. I have been told by a vet when my cat had an eye infection that any eye problems left untreated could lead to blindness so it may be best to do something about it as soon as possible.

Answer 4

My first thought was, she's very young & her eyes haven't attained their true coloring yet. This will take a few more weeks @ least.
However, if you suspect a problem, please have a vet look @ her to make sure there"s nothing wrong with her eyes. Do they look *different* than the eyes of other cats her age? Does she seem to have trouble focusing?

Answer 5

From what I understand a cat's eyes should not be hazy, but you should call a vet soon to make sure.

Answer 6

take her to the vet if not possible get a book about the growth of cats
