Maria, Nothing really funny looking about Luigi's eye. It's almost kind of cool looking. He just has a ring around about 1/2 of his eye. It's down one side and down the other side and just looks like a coppery tone. My vet didn't recall noticing it before and called a specialist just to see

Amy - Thanks for the kind words. I re-read your post about your kitty and and the gold colored ring around his eye. When you look at his eye in light, does it look funny like how animals eyes sometimes show up in pictures taken with a flash? That's how we first noticed Bernie's eye issue. He w
