I got a kitten with eye problem. There is a layer of skin totally covered in the left eye. Is there any way to remove it? One of the vet say they have to remove the whole eyeball but i dowan the cat to be a pirate.

I am afraid not
Usually when a cat has an eye infection due to colds we must ensure that the eyes are really taken care of.
If not this will happen.
If its not life threatening then I suppose you can leave it there but if it is then you have no choice but to have the eyes removed.

yeah...carefull in making a decision....im sure vet know the best for that cat....i hope everything going to be ok....good luck

The kitten already develop the eye sickness since it was born and been going to a few vet with several medicine but still cannot cure. One out of the 2 kitten died. i decided to stop all medication and the right eye was cured and the left eye with this one layer of skin on the eyeball. This kitten very healty now.

i just noticed my male cat (1year) is missing 1 canine tooth.
meaning the taring only got 1
would this be the reason why he is so passive and submissive?
neighbour cat come also he just look2 from far away
memang penakut. or maybe just because next door cat is the alpha male

btw this is him

So cat is cute and looks super manja
Nothing wrong in losing the teeth.
The teeth is just for protection and not for eating.
I dont think that losing its teeth will cause him to be passive and submissve.
I geuss its his nature of being a non fighting cat.

he is super manja.
oh, okay then. kinda worried about the teeth.
at least i dont have to be worried about him fighting others.
but his mom and little sis on the other hand

Just to share some eye caring tips with you guys. This is what I have learned from my Vet. When a cat is having an eye infection e.g. redness in the eyes you can buy Nicole eye drops treat the eyes with this. For eyes that is swollen and protuding out NEVER use Teramycin as this contains Steroid and can cause the eye to burst! Just use a cotton wool and dip in warm water wipe the eyes from inside and then put the Nicole eyedrops.

You have no choice. We have a fellow forumer here that owns a cat that is both eye blind. But he is still lovely despite not being able to see!
Same goes to those who own a blue eye white cat. They tend to lost their sight and hearing ability as they grow.

oh mai gawd...that's so adorable

you'll be surprised at how well cats can handle blindness. Unlike humans, they have a very good sense of hearing and feel around the surroundings with their whiskers.
Of course if you're talking aesthetically, yeah it's a shame that he'll have to lose one of the most expressive things a cat has.

say hi to Tiger! he was born blind


you talking about me? lol
I thought blue eyed whites only lose their hearing?
I would love to see the show...but so far

Tiger is your cat? Do you put harness on him? How you keep him from other cat? Hope to see more pictures of tiger.

This looks like my cat except that she's not blind , the colour stripes and all, do you know what breed mix is it? I always wondered about it.

Besides Tiger, I have another normal cat Nemo. I keep them both indoors, but use harness when I bring them outside.
their FB page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tiger-Nemo/144811305590344

I would call their breed 'moggies' which means random-bred/non pedigree, basically our 'pasar cats' or 'longkang cats'
as for fur colour/pattern, he's a brown-ticked tabby.

This site has lots of pics of different coloured cats http://www.seregiontica.org/Colors/intro.htm
and this is an extremely detailed chart on colours http://www.cedarseed.com/fire/catstut6.html

Yesh lul. XD

They will either lose one of them or both. In most of the case, it's both but they are more towards the "poor ability" rather than completely lose it. Some are even born blind despite their healthy looking eyeball. Odd-eyed white cats will usually have poor hearing/ eye sight at the side of their blue eye.

You back in hometown? If from PJ to mines, not too far whattt XDDD

my cats and kitty is children and grandchildren to a one eyed grandma.
which i obviously called Pirate

too bad for some reason she ran away and left me only with a small female
which is the mother now
