It seems as my cat got into a fight with some other animal. I tried looking at his eye but he keeps it closed. All I saw was white and it looked like he had no eye ball. I researched online and it talked about third eyelid. I made an appointment for him to see a vet tomorrow, but I don't know what I can do in a mean time, or will his eye get worse over night, and possibly lose his eye?

I just saw this.  I hope by now you've seen the vet.  The third eye is a membrane that comes down over the eye when the cat is injured or really stressed or ill.  Your cat may need antibiotics - hopefully nothing more.  Let us know what the vet said!

Poor kitty, but good for you for making the appt with the vet.  What did the vet have to say about his eye?
