Matilda's eye
I didn't notice this at all when I was playing with my foster kittens. Any idea what is on Matilda's eye???
They are currently on amoxilin for a severe URI and is clearing up nicely.

I don't think so, I have never noticed it until I downloaded the pictures this morning. When I go home I will have to take a good look at her eye, if I don't see anything I will take another picture to see if it shows up.

Could it be because they have been so sick that it is mucous or some kind of issue with her tear ducts?

I will, I thought he was going to be very busy and wouldn't have time. I emailed the pic to my DH who has a very good laser colour printer. I may pop into my vet's with the picture, not the Gananoque Humane Society's one.

It looks like something going on with her third eye thingy. When I bought Kiska home she had a URI and her third eye was nearly covering her eye. Maybe that's similar

That's a really clear picture. Hopefully he will be able to at least give you an idea of what it can be.
And I can't believe I forgot to mention what a doll she looks like in that picture.

Is that able to be wiped off? Could it be a large accumulation of mucous? Early eye infection - conjunctivitis?
I have also had patients who get a laceration of the 3rd eyelid and there is a piece of the third eyelid which becomes unattached however from the picture at least it does not appear as consistent with this. Hmmm.....

Yup, it's called a nictating membrane. Actually dogs have them too, as do lots of other animals. They just tend to be more visible in cats. Some info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nictitating_membrane
