Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 9 days old
When one of my newborn cats opened it's eyes I found out it had a strange part hanging from one of his eyes, it looks like it is sticked to the side of the eye and I am worried for it. I've searched it through the internet but there aren't any results. What is it? What can I do?

I am glad you noticed this! Although we cannot diagnose via telemedicine, I would be very suspicious of an ocular dermoid. Do not pull on it! I would highly recommend taking Ricky in as they can cause discomfort and may need special removal or treatment. You can certainly call your regular veterinarian and/or consider an ophthalmologist (http://www.acvo.org/new/public/public1.shtml). I hope this is helpful!
