A whitish membrane recently appeared over nearly half of my cat’s eye. I don’t know if it’s harmful to its health or future life.
From the photo, this is your cat's nictitating membrane, also called the third eyelid. Slight protrusion is normal - when the eyelid muscles are fatigued or the cat is deeply relaxed during sleep, the third eyelid can cover part of the eye, and if the cat is otherwise healthy this is not a pathological sign and will not harm its future wellbeing. However, if the exposed third eyelid is accompanied by squinting, an inability to open the eye, inflammation, or increased discharge, it may indicate third-eyelid hyperplasia or another disease that requires prompt anti-inflammatory treatment or a veterinary diagnosis.
