My cat squints one eye, but it looks healthy. Should I be concerned?

Question

My cat closes one eye (since he was a kitten) but his eyes look healthy ... is that ok? Pet's info: Cat | Egyptian Mau | Male | neutered | 4 months and 14 days old | 5.7 lbs

As long as the eye looks normal and does not tear or have a discharge then I'm not overly concerned about it. Next time you go to your veterinarian with Toby have them check his eye. He could have some eyelash hairs that irritate the eye so he keeps it closed, or there may be another problem that they can see when they do the exam. If he's squinting and seems painful or the eye is red with a discharge then I would take Toby in right away to get it checked. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Toby.
