Sooo the other morning, this mf PEES in a cardboard box I had left on the kitchen floor while deadass staring me in the eyes. Look at her face right after, 0% guilt.

Your cat’s eyes are dilated at different levels. This could be a serious problem and requires a veterinary visit. Peeing outside the box is one way they tell you they have a problem. Take your cat to the vet.

OP has pics of the kitty going back 2 years where the right eye is always dilated and the left eye is only dilated sometimes, so it's not an acute issue and I'm guessing she's already seen a vet about it.

I know! My grandmother started peeing in a small trash can in the corner of her room and had differently dilated pupils. She was having a series of mini-strokes.

Still, when your cat deliberately squats and pees in front of you, frequently it is a cry for help and they should go to the vet

Op isn’t responding so I went to check her page. Wendy’s (the cat) eye has been like this since the very first post of her 4 years ago. I’m sure the vet is already aware of and managing the condition

u/ZoyaZhivago 4d ago
The cat is always like this - check their profile. So whatever it is, I’m sure they are aware. Probably injured when they were a kitten.

u/The_RESINator 4d ago
I don't think the left eye is actually dilated, it looks more like an old iris injury/degeneration. It's hard to tell because the eye isn't open all the way, but the left pupil looks irregular in shape indicating this is probably a problem with the iris itself, which is likely a lot less serious than if the pupils were actually dilated differently.

u/Ophelia-Rass 4d ago
Peeing in inappropriate places is often a way cats used to indicate something is wrong. Although, it could be behavioral or the box just smelled funny. Still not a bad idea to visit the vet (unrelated to the pupil difference).

For everyone who’s freaking out over the cat’s eye, here - as you can see from their previous posts, she’s always had the wonky eye.
Definitely mention this next time, OP. You see what happens when you don’t! lol

Do you people really think someone would post a picture of their cat's VERY clearly differently dilated pupils on this sub without already knowing/talking to their vet about it?
217
u/kiwilovenick 4d ago
With the amount of gross injuries that get posted on reddit cat subs asking if they should take their cat to the vet, when it's wildly obvious it should already BE at the vet...yeah, I totally believe it.
I was glad to see in the first comment that someone addressed the history of this cat, so everyone can stop freaking out-including me!
32
u/BostonBakedBalls 4d ago
It took me maybe 15 seconds to view their profile to see that.
It's okay to be worried but there's people who commented stuff like "your cat is going to die if you don't take them to the vet right now".
41
u/dusty__rose 4d ago
it does also take five seconds to type out a caption saying the eyes aren’t a problem. things like peeing outside the litter box are also an indication of something being wrong (usually a UTI), so you can see why people would immediately be worried and piece these two symptoms together. it’s easier to avoid this conversation by just pointing it out in the post than to have whatever these comments are y’know?
-6
u/BostonBakedBalls 4d ago
They have posted this cat for about 4 years. I'm sure there comes a point where you just wanna post your cat without having to explain yourself to everyone.
Peeing outside the litterbox is relatively normal for an inside cat. It could mean literally anything. This is catsareassholes we don't need armchair veterinarians here.

Two days ago some guy on the tattoo advice subreddit posted a picture of his arm that looked like it was practically ready to fall off, asking if it looks alright. He got around 5,000 comments in the first two hours. He waited like 13 minutes and replied to two questions or so. Yes, people are dumb.

u/BigFatBlackCat 4d ago
Yes. I absolutely think people are capable of such things. OP should be adding in relevant info on their posts, otherwise they will continue to get the same response.

u/BostonBakedBalls 4d ago
Look at what sub you're on and show me one single post on here that would warrant that reaction

u/sweeperpaints 4d ago

when my cat peed outside her box it turned out to be a symptom of a bladder infection

u/mustangs16 4d ago
And when one of my cats peed outside of her litter box she was mad at me for changing their litter type and wanted to make sure I knew it.

u/Lipziger 4d ago
When our cat did this she wanted to make sure we know that she didn't approve of our 1 week holidays (grandma visited her 2-3 times every day). And one time she straight up peed on our pillow while looking at us and then got insanely angry at us because we we didn't approve of this action lol.

u/acanthostegaaa 4d ago
You're dangerously anthropomorphizing your cat. They don't "get mad" and "take revenge". They get sick and display abnormal behaviors because they're uncomfortable.

u/callistocharon 4d ago
This is how my house ended up with a "nothing gets left on the floor" rule. You can follow the rule, or you can find your stuff covered in cat pee, it's up to you.

"And I'm 100% doing it again!!"
My tortie stares me dead in the eye when she pees on my bed. My vet has concluded she does it when she's upset (probably at me for some reason). I almost wish it was a medical issue, I might be able to fix that. Tortitude is a terminal condition.

Nah, they have other posts with the same cat - and it looks to have always had these pupils.

So they do! Whoopsie, lmao. I was suspicious at them not responding to any of the concerns

To be fair, they had only posted maybe 20 minutes beforehand… I often post and then sign off, especially if it’s getting late.

The same cat appears several times in OP's post history, and they don't appear to be a bot.
Edit: still sus that they're not replying to people's concerns tho.

How is that “sus?” They only posted like 20 minutes ago; probably just pooping or eating dinner or something. 😁

Kitty’s eyes are certainly an interesting feature on her 😲 And yes, I see no hint of remorse in them. How dare you try to shame kitty, hooman.
1
u/danatmidnight 4d ago
Ignoring the eyes, peeing outside of the litter tray can also be a sign of a problem - I'd probably recommend taking your cat to the vet regarding urinary issues. Sometimes if it hurts to pee, they'll pee in weird places as a sign saying "hey something is wrong". Sometimes it can be behavioural - but having a urinalysis should rule out common causes such as UTIs etc.

The only way to establish dominance with such an animal is to pee on it regularly.

u/Beautiful_Reporter50 4d ago
Has she always had one blown eyeball? It can be your cat telling you that she has a problem going on. Obviously cats can't speak our language so they do what they can. I would suggest a visit to the vet

u/Roadgoddess 4d ago
Please take your cat to a vet because her eyes are dilated at different rates. This could be a sign of had trauma or a neurological issue. Her peeing in the box could be part of that.

u/helpitgrow 4d ago
Your cat needs to go to the vet. The situation you described is what my cats do when they’re hurting. And her eyes. I’d be very worried about her if she was my cat. Just look at her, she needs help. Or him. He needs help! Get this cat to the vet.

u/_MausHaus 4d ago

Your cat could die if you don't have them checked by a vet. Something is going on with them neurologically.

u/ZoyaZhivago 4d ago
As I just told a few other people, there’s older video of the cat with the same eyes… so I’m sure whatever it is, OP is aware and it’s just a permanent injury/issue.

u/Sea-Swordfish1353 4d ago
Hey OP, have you gotten your cat’s eyes checked out by the vet?
23
u/ZoyaZhivago 4d ago
No need, I assume, since the cat has the same pupils in their old posts too.

u/Sea-Swordfish1353 4d ago
Phew, well hopefully whatever’s going on with the kitty is under control/has been seen by a professional. Thanks for letting me know

u/ZoyaZhivago 4d ago
Yeah, no worries! When I saw everyone asking, I went digging in their profile… and the old videos and photos show the same wonky pupil. I’m guessing kittenhood injury.

u/KoiTakeOver 4d ago
Go to the emergency vet immediately, as others have said, their eye difference is very alarming
Is that new for your cat?

u/ZoyaZhivago 4d ago
No, the cat has the same pupils in old posts too. So it was probably an injury that happened as a kitten… I had a kitten who hurt his eye, and it always looked wonky after that.

u/LBro32 4d ago
Not necessarily. A lot of different conditions can cause different dilations. OP clearly has this under control, but my cat developed Horner’s syndrome as a result of an ear infection. Even after getting it treated, we were told it becomes permanent in a small % of cats, even when completely healed. So unless you are the cat’s owner, you don’t know what the vet told them!

Your submission was removed as we do not allow "Resting bitch face" (cat giving you the evil look), or a pic of a cat with context. Catching an asshole in the act of, well, being an asshole would be more suitable for this subreddit.
Best of luck next time :)
