Was my cat's eyesight affected by being out during a cloudy eclipse?

Question

My cat accidentally got out during the eclipse but it was cloudy so it was not visible. Should I be concerned about his eyesight?

If you are seeing a change in vision in your cat, it could have been caused by him looking at the sun. However, Texas was not in the path of totality, and pets are not prone to looking at the sun (that seems to be a human trait!). I think your kitty will be just fine.
