I have 2 cats, 7 months old, both brothers and first of all only 1 cat had a problem with his eyes, like from the inside of the eye it was covering more of the eyeball in both eyes and eventually its covering most of it and he looks like he cant see very well, he also lost his appetite and he will eat if he is starving but he wont act hungry and he wont eat a lot, he will eat a couple of mouthfuls and thats it and turn away. he has eaten about 1/2 a tin of food in 3 days, this is the 3rd day of him not eating well.and today i noticed his brother is starting to show the same thing in his eyes but only a little bit like his brother had at the start and he tonight went without his dinner and normally he will go mad for food and he hasnt asked for any all day and both of the cats meals are still there and they havent touched it, im gettng rather worried, is there anything i should do? anyone know what could be wrong with my cats??
Thanks
Robyn

Absolutely seek out a vet! The third eyelid (thats what the white thing is called) covering the eye like that when they are not asleep is a sign of illness. Not eating is a sign of illness. Cats are really good at hiding their illness so when they are actively showing these signs it means they are really ill. They probably have some sort of infection and may need antibiotics but you won't know till you see a vet. Good luck I hope it is nothing too serious that can be treated easily!

Get them kitties to a vet ASAP . It could be something minor and all u will need is antibiotics but if you let it go ur gonna get into dehydration. That is the worst for a cat.
Good luck
