eyelids
my cat when she opens her eyes there is somthing there that doesn't look right it is kind of gray in color but when she blinks a few times it is usually gone. But not to long ago i had a cat die just after having the same thing happen to his eyes. But as time went by that did not go away anymore just wondering what this could be. I looks kind of like a third eye lid.
Re: eyelids
the following is from the linked site:
>>>>>>
The cat’s eye possesses a third eye lid, also known as nictitating membrane or haw. It is a thin fold of skin that flicks diagonally across the eye, under the eyelid. It helps to lubricate the cornea by spreading tears across the eye and also has a protective function. In some cases when a cat is unwell the third eye lid will be visibly apparent, it is not completely clear why this occurs.<<<<<<
From reading this statement, I guess if the haw is visible for any length of time, it would be good to have your vet check for any health problems.

Re: eyelids
I agree it indicates something is wrong as in the cat being sick or having an eye problem. Please see your vet right away with this.
