D. All of the above
Happy Friday Lairians !
Answer: D. All of the above
The haw should be whitish-pink, translucent and located in the inner corner of the eye. It is usually hidden, only briefly appearing when a cat blinks, sleeps, or is very relaxed. If it is persistently visible, it may indicate an underlying health issue and worth getting a vet check.
