About a half hour ago my friends cat either scratched my puppies eye or face. It looks like he has something in his eye. Does he have a chance of going blind in that eye? We can take him to the vet in the morning.

Yup, see your regular vet in the morning, no matter how the eye looks. Eyes injure quick and heal slow, so you want to get ahead of any trauma that's going on. The vet will probably want to "stain" the eye with a fluorescent dye that shows up with a blue light to make sure there's no scratches on the cornea.
