Likely an exception error. Try turning the power off, waiting 30 seconds, then powering back on.

Shine a light into kitty's eyes and look for the pupils to constrict.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By burnka871: Tried that. They do. That's a good sign. Still, eye dialation is a pretty serious symptom for a lot of things, from high blood pressure to poisoning/envenomation. Is the nictitating membrane (inner eyelid, corner of the eye nearest the nose) covering the eye more than usual? Dialation can be a sign of pain, as is the membrane coming over the eye. This is definitely a vet-worthy symptom either way. |

I've done a few test and she seems to see just fine albeit a bit distracted a bit. Worried about my kitty

It would be unusual for both eyes to go bad as far as retinal detatchment, etc. Have you done any pest control or used any bug spray/insect repellent recently? Kitty eaten any plants in the house? Between being responsive to light and kitty eating normally, those are both good, but eyes shouldn't be dilated. Hopefully your vet gets back to you soon, not to alarm you but you're right to be worried. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By burnka871: I did some anti roach combat the other day but made sure to keep her out of it for an hour or 2. You think that may be it? That could definitely be a factor. Cats are pretty sensitive to insecticides, especially permethrin based ones. ETA: I just looked up the combat roach stuff. Cypermethrin is a main ingredient. I'd mention that to the vet first thing. Hopefully it's just a mild case of poisoning (fwiw, if it were bad, she wouldn't be functional 2 days in but I'd keep a very close eye on her and get vet opinion ASAP.) |

That does seem strange but sometimes cats are odd as fuck. I’d certainly have kitty checked out by the vet tho.
My female cat will sometimes get really excited and wide eyed and begin frantically looking around the room like she is watching things fly through walls and the ceiling. I was concerned that it was some kind of seizure behavior, it happens randomly a few times a year that I’ve witnessed ...but the vets say she fine lol. |

Not a vet.. just volunteer at a local shelter/comm. clinic. The eyes thing doesn't really bother me but missing jumps kinda does. Especially at around 6 years old. I'd guess severe head or neurological trauma but maybe that is irrelevant if your cat isn't showing other related symptoms like titled head, vomiting, loss of appetite or changes to his or hers #1 and #2 patterns. Do you let it roam outside unsupervised, at all?

Do the pupils constrict at the same speed when a light is shone on them? If not, sign of concussion/neuro issue.
Edit: to be clear, those eyes are not normal unless it’s a pitch black room. Something is wrong and this warrants a vet trip. |

It looks to me like kitteh's right lateralis nasi (whiskers) is bigger than the left side. If that's the case, it would suggest, as others have said, an envenomation. Which could definitely relate to the bug eyes.

Hopefully your vet gets back to you soon, not to alarm you but you're right to be worried. I did some anti roach combat the other day but made sure to keep her out of it for an hour or 2. You think that may be it? Yes, it getting into something toxic will cause the eyes to do that. Doesn't mean that is what is going on but if you introduced some new chemical in the house and then this happened, I would say the two are related. I had a cat doing that, it would seem blind almost with huge eyes. The change was I moved their food dish into a closet to limit how much they ate. There must have been something on the floor that was toxic for the cat. Since that was the only change I moved the food bowl back out and the problem went away. |

Yeah, I'd notify the Vet and send them images of the eyes. Eating and drinking normal is good but kitty needs some medical attention. Best of luck and hopefully all goes well.

Quoted: Waiting for an email response from out vet. Maybe 2 days ago I noticed our kitty has had her eyes dialated most of the time and they are very reflective. Didnt really think anything of it as she has been acting and eating normally. Today she missed a few jumps to her cat tree and the sink. Anyone seen this before? https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/371724/received_1095795247480485_jpeg-1404411.JPG How's her vision? Could be a hyperthyroid/hypertension problem. My childhood cat went completely dilated and temporarily blind until we got her on meds. |
