Hi, so I am posting for a friend of mine who has had a new kitty come into her life, & isn't on the site yet. 

She has an orange & white stray, girl that had made her house home. She has noticed that both of her eyes are cloudy, & she said one is

jittery?  She said she doesn't think it's cataracts, but was wondering if anyone else had any ideas as to what it may be.

I know we can't give medical advice on the site, & I did tell her she needs to be seen by a vet, but was just wondering if anyone had any ideas.

She said she can still see.  I haven't seen her, because my friend lives in another state. 

This is the picture she sent me just a minute ago. It's not very clear to see, because of the screen, but the only one I have.

Thanks for any feedback!

There are several things that can cause cloudy eyes and none of them are good.  The cat really does need to be examined by a vet as soon as possible.  She could have diabetes, or glaucoma, or something even worse.  Please tell your friend to take her to the vet ASAP to get this checked out.  And thank her for taking on this new addition to the family.
