Brown spot in his eye?

[Picasso]

Thank you for all your help everyone.
I will defiantly show the vet a couple of photos of Picasso's eye, but it will have to wait a bit. We are bringing Picasso in for his booster shots I think it was, in about 2 weeks. I'll ask the vet then.
He's had this brown spot in his eye ever since we got him, and he's about a year old now, so waiting 2 more weeks to see what it is probably wont hurt.
I'll make another post after we find out, since you guys all seem to care so much! ♥ ♪

Here is a link I found; I think this is what the Cat Fancy article was about.

I guess only the vet can tell you if it is cause to be worried. But if it is this stuff, the longer you wait, the worse off the cat will be. As the article says, in the early stages it is treated with meds. Only later is eye removal the only option.

I don't want to alarm you or worry you but a couple of years ago when I was rescuing ferals, I thought that one of them had one blue eye and one brown eye. When I was finally able to trap her to take her in to be spayed, the vet looked at it and immediately said "This is a tumor and the surgery can be expensive." (It turned out she had other things wrong w/her, too, so I had to make the decision to have her put to sleep.) So just to be safe, have your vet check it out before it gets out of hand. Good luck.

It just dawned on me that I still have a pic of Mooka, the cat that I mentioned in the previous post. Here she is and you can clearly see the tumor (the brown spot) on her left eye.

Just to be safe, take Picasso to the vet. Get him checked out then. I hope it isn't anything serious or deadly. **hugs** are coming to you and Picasso. Keep posting!

Is Picasso neutered? That could be one reason why he is so fierce at the vet's.

Good luck!

Thank you for all the information everyone.
We should be taking in Picasso very soon, so I the vet might get a checkout out it then. Like I said before, Picasso is pretty big for his age and very strong also. When we took him to the vet, the vet and the vet assistant both had to hold him down, and he still managed to break loose and maul the vets hand. And the assistant was literaly lying on top of Picasso.
Scary how such an adorable face can hide so much ferocity when provoked isnt it?
But we are going to get him neutered.
I would have liked to sooner, and I kept on insisting to my parents that we should do it before he is 6 months old. But you can understand they were a bit hesitant.
Of course the men of the family absolutly refused!

Ofcourse one of the reasons I want him neutered is because of the ferocity, but the thing Im worried about most, is that he might escape while the female cats in our area are in heat.
Im a firm believer in neuter and spay.
I dont want anymore stray cats in my neighborhood. Its too sad to see them huddled underneath the cars on cold days.
Even more sad that I know I cant help them. All the cats probably never will get a chance to feel the warmth and love we can offer them.
