If you've noticed that your cat's eye has been partially shut for a month, it could be a sign of irritation or discomfort. There are several common causes for this, such as conjunctivitis, a foreign object in the eye, or even an injury. Given that this issue has been ongoing, it's crucial to keep an eye out for any additional symptoms like redness, discharge, or swelling.

At home, you can help by gently cleaning around your cat's eye with a damp, soft cloth to remove any debris. It's also important to ensure her environment is free from potential irritants, such as dust or strong chemicals. However, since this problem has persisted, I would strongly recommend having a veterinarian examine her. They can determine the exact cause and provide the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
