Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Her eyes look fine in this photo, but then again there aren't any close up views here. Cats often squint their eyes, especially if they are getting sleepy and about to nap. Now if you notice any redness of the white part of her eye, eye discharge (usually yellow green) or puffiness of her eyes, then I would get concerned about conjunctivitis and then eye drops would have to be prescribed by your vet. Otherwise, this is considered normal and no treatment is recommended at this time. Please let me know if this was helpful information for you and your pet. Best wishes and take care.

If Sarabi's eye's color seem to be changing it's definitely not normal, it could be an eye infection but it could also be something more serious, i strongly recommend taking her to the vet ASAP in order to get the eyes checked and treated.

Thank you for reposting. That is not a typical pigment change. I would definitely take Shawn in to be seen. You may want to her primary veterinarian first but they ay discisss referral to an ophthalmologist depending on what they find on exam. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
