Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 11 lbs

Hi, I am asking about a cat that we took from the streets about three years ago, we used to let her go outside as she wanted this summer but since its winter she hasnt gone outside yet. I am looking at her eyes and both of them have tiny red vessels in them. I was wondering if that's normal. But the thing is her left eye has a pale transparent white spot on the bottom of her eye and she doesnt seem to care but i dont know if its normal. Thanks!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is normal for there to be vessels on the white portion of the eye but not on the colored or black parts. If she isn’t pawing or scratching then you can wait until after the holiday to take a look and make sure it is her normal eye. Good luck and kisses to Doudoune!
