It looks as Trinity is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in cats. you will need to take her to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.

Hi there. I would highly encourage you to have Prince seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Many things could be wrong with the eye such as a luxated lens or glaucoma. A thorough ophthalmic exam will help determine the problem and recommend a treatment plan. I hope he improves soon.
