My cat's eye is closed and getting worse. What's causing this problem?

Question

What’s wrong with my cats eye? I noticed yesterday she was keeping it closed but it seems to be getting worse? Does she have pink eye? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. It is just not possible to know without being able to look at the eyes up close. I highly recommend that you have Genie evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
