The third eyelid in the cat (and dog) is found in the lower corner of the eye on the side near the nose. It can be visualized on occasion as it may partially elevate and partially cover the eye. In birds, the third eyelid is very functional and sweeps across the entire eye. It too is located in the same spot as the cat and dog. Even humans have a third eyelid, however, it is vestigial (a small non-functional remnant).

What is the third eyelid that cats and dogs have called?
The 'haw' or in medical terminology, the nictitating membrane. In cats and dogs it can cover a small portion of the eye while in other animals it can be completely shut. Different species have different uses for it, hawks constantly "blink" with the haw to clear debris and moisturize the eye during an aerial dive, and they use it to protect their eye while feeding their young. Beavers can close their haw while they are underwater to protect the eye and allow them to see.
