Is there something wrong with my cat's eye?
I am not a vet, but I have experience with cats and read a lot. First of all, it is extremely important that you find out if he has any food allergy or intollerance. If you are feeding her with dry food, stop it asap and never buy dry food any more. You have to know that dry food is bad for all cats, as they are obligated carnivores but dry food is made with vegetal protein they cannot correctly process. Plus, dry food have a high % of carbs, while their natural food (animals) haven't any or extremely low. Plus, they come from the dessert and they take most of the water they need from their preys. This is why cats are not great water drinkers. Dry food have not water and it dehydrates them.Read about that and you will see. Change his diet for at least 3 months. The ideal is a home made food (not a human diet but a cat diet that is basically a combination of meat and fat, it is easy to do but you have to do little research about how to freeze it, the correct % of each meat, etc. Never give him carbs or so). If you can't invest the time in preparing his food, you can use canned food. Choose it without grains, this is very important as grains are very reactive in cats (and MOST dry foods have grains). Canned food is not the ideal meal, but at least is made from animal leftovers, therefore is not as bad as dry food.If this cat were mine, I would first of all give a try to home made food for 3 months and I will do my best so the cat don't eat anything else appart from that. Take into account that food intollerances can manifest even 1 week after eating the trigger. So you'll never know if you are not doing it strictly.Here you can find healthy recipes and how to correctly prepare cat food: Recipes
Is there something wrong with my cat?!?
There is nothing wrong with your kitty. He is just very interested in whatever you are doing, including whatever you're eating. It's not bad to feed him human foods, despite what many people will tell you otherwise. I have had more than one veterninarian tell me it is perfectly OK to feed pets scraps (within reason of course) as long as you don't mind the begging. Think about it... If he were a wild animal living out in the forest, he wouldn't be eating dried kibbles of cat food, he'd be eating raw meat from small animals, maybe some grass or plant sometimes. Feeding him small bits of people food certainly won't kill him, despite what some other people here seem to be trying to tell you. My mom once had a cat who loved string cheese and canteloupe. I once had a cat that loved Cheez-It's crackers. I have heard it is not good to feed pets chocolate and onions, although I have had many cats lick ice cream bowls after I was done with them, I'm sure some probably had chocolate, and none ever died from it. I don't see anything wrong with any of the foods you listed. Garlic in small quantities is actually good for pets, because it helps repel fleas and ticks naturally instead of using flea collars and chemicals like Advantage and Frontline. Insects dont like biting an animal that regularly consumes garlic. I have found various articles on the internet that say "oh no dont ever feed your pet garlic it will kill them!!" and I say "Hogwash!" because I have been doing it for years and never had any problems with it. What it comes down to is I would say just be sensible about what you let your cat eat. Things like meat scraps and rice are pretty good - cookies, well, maybe in moderation only. You might want to get him some catnip or a cat-grass plant to munch on (these can be found in some pet stores), since all cats have an instinct to eat grass. Just use common sense when sharing your food with kitty, and only give him small bits. If you have even the slightest thought that he shouldn't eat a particular food, then dont give it to him. I hope this helps =^.^=
Is something wrong with my Cat?
This may sound funny but I have a cat well sort of a kitten (3 months old) and yesterday I just bought this huge wall mirror that's like 60 inches long and I put it in the living room. The problem is my cat looks in the mirror and acts weird. He arches his back and his ears bend back & his tail stands up straight, at this point most of time he will run away across the living room and then run towards the mirror and attack it like another animal is present. He's been doing this all day long and right now he's just sitting in front of the mirror starring at his reflection. I'm afraid his going to break this mirror. Is this behavior abnormal? should I be concern? any thoughts?

Is there something wrong with my cat’s eye?
It possible, but the one picture you took is not complete and you didn’t show us the other eye for comparison. I believe from this picture that the linear material is a string of mucus. If it moves when the cat blinks, then it is nearly 90% likely that is what it is. It might be (hard to tell from this picture) that the third eyelid is also up over the cornea a bit. The third eyelid is a white flap of tissue that protrudes from the inner corner of the eye near the nose, and can cover the eye completely. If it is protruded some, then there is either something wrong with the eye (pain, infection, a foreign body) or the cat is sick. It protrudes in many cases when cats just don’t feel well. So, if the strand doesn’t move with the cornea when the cat blinks or the third eye lid is up, the cat needs to see the veterinarian.
Do cats know when something is wrong?
Yes, most definitely cats can sense when something is wrong. As predators in the wild, it can be a life or death matter for them not to notice changes in the behavioural patterns of those around them, and the instinct still exists in them. Just like you give off a smell when you are afraid, you probably smell as well as act different when you are sick. They can also sense earthquakes before they happen (I've seen my cats race outside of the house a good quarter of an hour before a shock actually hits) and by watching them, I know when to take in the laundry before rain actually starts to fall. You think they're just snoozing in the sun, but at some deeper level, they are acutely aware of every single thing around them all the time and they constantly analyse their immediate environment.

My cat won't play with toys, why? Is something wrong with her like a health issue and should I be worried?
My cats are not great ‘toy’ fans. I have bought no end of catnip mice, swinging things with bells on, balls with bells IN, balls hanging from the washing line, you name it, I’ve bought it! The laser pointer, used against a wall or the floor, frightens one of my three cats so much that he hares off outside and down the garden. However much I try to interact with them with an ‘official’ toy, they don’t want to know.So, what do they play with? Bits of paper, my sunglasses, pens, knocking things off my bedside table (including the phone, tubes of hand cream, lip salve etc.)I think perhaps they like to ‘make their own’ toys. You could try screwing up a sheet of paper and see if that works. If she eats normally, drinks enough, looks as though she can SEE properly (that might be worth you checking), I wouldn’t be too concerned that she is ill in some way. If she was a rescue cat or not with you from a young age, she just may not be used to being given things to play with.
Do cats know when they are doing something wrong?
As I’ve mentioned before (and as my credential states), I’ve got a feral in my life who chose to become an indoor cat, but it took about a year from the point where he started coming in to the point where he actually moved in. So. I remember this one very rainy, miserable fall day.It was a Friday and I let Soot in, but had to go out to do the grocery shopping. He’d made himself at home on my bed and I’d left him before. Plus I really didn’t want to send him off in the rain. So, off I went. Some two hours later, I came home, opened the door, and Soot STREAKED past me into the steady rain. It wasn’t a downpour, but it wasn’t a drizzle either as I recall.When I went into my bedroom, I saw why. He’d vomited on my sheets. Well, it was all on the sheet itself, not the spread or comforter. Nothing had seeped through. So, I just bundled the sheet down to the laundry room, threw it in the machine, and started a wash. Then I went back upstairs and opened my front door.Soot was on the step, looking VERY apprehensive. By now, we’d reached a point in our relationship when he was okay with my picking him up. I did so, speaking gently to him, as I carried him inside the house and into the bedroom. “I didn’t know you weren’t feeling well,” I said to him softly. “I wish you could have told me.”He took a look at my sheetless mattress. He looked at me. And suddenly, he was purring. I set him down on the bed and he started rubbing against me, head-butting me… as good as saying, “You mean, you’re not mad? I can still come in and stay dry? Really?”There are times when he will do things he knows I don’t want him to. Like knock things off my desk to get my attention. He’s never sorry about that. Or nervous, for that matter. But that time? He KNEW he’d done something potentially problematic and he WAS afraid of a reaction.Makes me wonder sometimes how he ended up on the street in the first place, and whether he might have gotten abandoned for doing something similar in another home. (He’s always been too well-socialized for me to believe that he was born feral. I believe he must have had a home at some point, somehow ended up on the street, and learned feral behavior to survive.) But I’ll never really know, I guess.
