Cats can go for long periods of time without blinking, but the specific time cannot be determined. Because cats have a third eyelid, when cats are confronting other cats or staring at prey, they will blink less often, helping the cat to stare at the prey for a longer period of time. For cats, blinking is a normal physiological phenomenon. If you find that your cat cannot blink for a long time, it may be due to edema of the cat's cornea. It is recommended that cat owners pay attention to their cats' conditions and take their cats for examination in time.

The reasons why cats do not blink for a long time:

1. The cat may be catching prey. When a cat is confronting other cats or staring closely at prey, the number of blinks will be reduced, helping the cat to stare at the prey for a longer period of time.

2. The cat’s eyes may be infected. You need to observe whether the cat’s eye secretions increase and whether yellow secretions appear. If so, it is recommended to check whether the eye secretions are infected by pathogens. possible.

3. It may be that cats are unable to blink due to corneal edema. It is recommended to check the eye structure to see if there are any structural abnormalities such as ectopic ciliary ciliaries, double ciliary ciliaries, and entropion of the eyelids.
