My cat's eye sometimes doesn't close fully. When should I see a vet?

Question

My cat doesn't fully closes one of his eyes sometimes. He never did this before. I've seen him closing that one eye slower than the other when goong back to sleep. What could be wrong? Should I take him to the vet as soon as possible or wait a little and see if he stops doing it? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 years old

If that is his only symptom, and he's otherwise acting normally, eating normally, active, etc and his face and eyes appear completely normal when he is awake, you don't need to rush him in. Give him another week or so, and if its continuing or you notice additional symptoms, get him in for an exam.
