How old is the cat?
My old cat has had that happen but it was from her high bp.
There are alot of things that can cause it.
Did she hit her head or anything?
She's 7 mos old. I didn't see her hit her head, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen! I wouldn't be surprised the way she runs and jumps around. Both of her pupils react to light, but they still are unequal when they do.

Thanks for your concern and advice, everyone! I took Coraline to the vet today. By the time we had out appointment, her eye was cloudy and obviously infected.
She has something called Anterior uveitis. Often this is a symptom of another disease, so I worried forever while they tested her blood. She doesn't have any problems that would show up on a blood chemistry, so that's definitely good. The vet gave us steroids and antibiotics.
If it goes away, it probably means it was caused by trauma. (Which wouldn't be surprising knowing sphynx cat antics!) If it's not better when we go back Monday, we have to go to a feline opthamologist. This would be driving at least 3 hours and would cost quite a bit, so I hope that's not the case!
It still could be FIP, but the vet said there's no reliable test for that. A feline opthamologist would be able to recognize FIP lesions on her eye, however.
So, keep your fingers crossed that she just hit her eye jumping around the house and that there's nothing worse going on![/QUOTE
Nothing frightens me more than losing one of my sweet sphynxies to some horrible disease like FIP that comes like a thief in the night to steal part of my heart. I will pray that Coraline responds well to her meds and that there is no FIP or even a need to go to the feline opthamologist. {{{{{Hugs to you and Coraline}}}}}}
