DU cat people: some advice plz!
My tortie kitty's eyes look funny. Sometimes when I look at her, her eyes look normal. Sometimes in the corners near her nose, I see the whites and a little bit of her eyes. She seems to be getting around ok, should I call a vet about it?

1. You probably should do that,
to find out what's going on with her. Might be nothing, but it would be good to find out.

2. I'm not understanding the problem?
In the corners of her eyes, you see the whites and a little bit of "what" of her eyes?

4. in the corners...
...I see white and approximately half of the iris. Kinda like she's wall-eyed.

Relieve your concerns and take her to a vet for an opinion.

Good luck to your and your kitty. :hug:

7. **************** UPDATE ************************
Kitty went to the vet this afternoon. She has pinkeye (will Smokey catch that from her?) and a cold. got some drops for her eyes.

So thanks for the advice. I was really worried about her.

10. About pinkeye
Just FYI, one of our cats seemed to have conjunctivitis, and we got the ointment to treat it, but it actually stemmed from an infected tooth that was about to fall out. The ointment will get rid of the pink eye, but if it comes back, or if Kitty seems unhappy/uncomfortable or has stinky breath, check her teeth.
