Are my cats eyes normal?

Question

Hey, my cat has this interesting wavy pattern in his eyes and his third eyelid is also showing. I already went to the vet and told her about the eyelid since it’s often an indicator that a cat is sick. Do you guys think anything is wrong with him? He eats, sleeps and plays like any kitten would. Are this eye pattern and the slightly showing eyelid normal? I have never seen this on my other cats. 

When I got him he was sneezing quite a bit and till this day he still breathes a little bit louder and heavier than my other cats. He was vaccinated and never acted like a sick cat (he’s playing a lot etc.) but I’m still worried because it doesn’t seem normal to me and the doc of my vet kinda ignored what I told her and never gave me an answer.

Answer 1

Hi there, I understand your concern about your cat's eyes. It is normal for cats to have some variation in the pattern of their eyes, and it is also normal for their third eyelid to show slightly. If you have any concerns about your cat's health, it is always best to consult your vet. Additionally, since your cat was sneezing when you got him, it is possible that he has an underlying health condition that could be causing the breathing issues. I recommend that you take him to the vet for a check up, just to be sure that everything is okay.

Answer 2

Healthy feline eyes are clear and bright. Your cat's pupils should also be equal in size and shape, and the area around his or her eyeballs should be pure white. Cats with pupils that are not the same size are suffering from anisocoria, which is a symptom and not a disease.

Answer 3

I'm not a veterinarian, but a wavy pattern in a cat's eyes and a slightly visible third eyelid can sometimes be normal. However, since your cat had previous respiratory issues and still breathes louder, it's essential to monitor any changes and consult with a vet for a second opinion if needed. Persistent concerns should be addressed to ensure your cat's well-being.
