Hello all

My cats eyes look a bit funny and she is quieter than usual.

Her '2nd' eye lid is 1/4 way across one of her eyes and the other one the other side is a bit too but not so much.

Should I be worried and be taking her to the vet?

when is the last time you wormed her as worms can cause the fat pad at the back of the eye to shrink allowing the inner eyelid to come across i learnt this many years agos after several visits to the vets and various different treatments which had no affect then read about the worm thing in a cat book , wormed him and with in a week eyes were fine
I think that it is a sign of the cat being a bit off colour.

Normally I would five you a link to my favourite cat website - but either it is down or I am being more stupid than usual.

Cats are good at hiding the fact that they are unwell and it is good that you have picked up on a sign.

If it were me I would panic and drag the poor creature to the vet expecting a diagnosis of some fatal disease. The sensible answer would be to leave it a day or two, as long as puss is eating/drinking and filling the litter tray.

It could be a fight injury and if you suspect this take junior to the vet tomorrow.
That happens when the cat is dehydrated. She may have a raised temperature which is causing it (possibly due to an infection of some kind). I would think about taking her to the vets if she is no better tomorrow.
