My cat's eyelid are covering half of his eye

[AnonQuestioner]

Does anyone know why my cat's third eyelid is covering half of it's eyes? And it has become swollen as well.

That looks like a horrible eye infection. You need to get your cat to the vet right now. This is a medical emergency, so please don't wait. This must be very painful for your cat and he/she could go blind from this.

Take your cat to the vet today!

Not just blind, there is full possibility the eye could need removing.

Any update?

Yep, the surgery is tomorrow! I hope he'll be okay after this.
