My cat has a white spot near her eye. Should I worry if she's fine?

Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Female | spayed | 9 years and 10 months old | 13 lbs

Should I be worried about this white spot a little under and above my cat’s eye? I just noticed it today. She doesn’t seem to be in pain and not bothering her.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It could be a scratch (or other form of trauma) to the eyelids. If it is not bothering Fergie and she is acting as normal, you should monitor her at home for now. However, if she scratches the area excessively or the eyelids become swollen or painful, you should take your cat to your local vets for an appointment.
