Why does my cat's eye look bad after waking up? Injury or infection?

Question

My cat's eye looks like this after he wakes up. It then gets better after an hour or so. He stayed at my parents house for a few days and then he got this. We expect that he might have hit a cactus. Can this be the case and what should we do? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

Litas is a handsome boy! Litas could have scratched the cornea or he may be dealing with a viral infection. Corneal scratches are painful. I would recommend to take him into the vet for a special dye to be applied to his eye to look for damage. Its a very simple procedure that will tell you whats going on. Treatment is based upon the results. I hope he starts feeling better soon!
