You should take your cat to the veterinarian immediately if you do not know what this is. This sounds like she has something in her eye that's bothering her, or something's probably wrong with it. This white 'blob,' can cause damage to your cat's eye if you wait too long. Take her to the veterinarian, and see what he says. There can be many reasons why your cat's eye's are like this, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Even if your cat may look healthy, there can be many things wrong with her that you might not know about, so be careful.

I've seen this twice at the vet I worked for. She probably needs some drops to help it. Sometimes this can be an infection and the third eyelid covers to protect it. Take her to the vet soon. This can get really bad.

Get ur butt off the computer and high-tail it to the vet!! Fluffy has an object lodged in the eyes, causing the eye to slowly shut down, or stop working. GET TO THE VET!! 4 days is WAY To long!! Good Luck!

This is a definite sigh that all not well with your cat. Take it to the vet. There are a number of things that can cause this condition from dry eyes to Horner's Syndrome.

This could be a symptom of an eye infection, or distemper, which is a pretty serious cat disease. You'd better take your cat to the vet.

That is called a "haw". It is a third eyelid- a protective membrane.
This calls for a vet.
It is likely due to a foreign object in her eye. It could scratch her eye & cause serious permanent damage.
4 days is way too long.
GO TO VET.

Cats have two sets of eyelids for eye protection. Take her to the vet to be sure that nothing is wrong with her eyes/ eyelids.

She should be brought to the vet to have him take a look at her.
It could be an indication of an eye problem, sometimes it an indication of something internal going on. best if she's seen.
