my newborn kitten has an overcoat on one eye. it almost looks like cataracts but im fairly sure she can see out of it. also you can see the green under this blue overcoating. does anyone know what this is?

Hi sounds like it is the third eyelid which all cats have. It should automatically roll back when the eye is open.
When it does not it can be a sign of ill health or a problem with the eye. if I were you I would definitely take them to the vets to have them checked out. especially as he is a kitten and they can be more prone to illness.
I have a web page about cat eye problems which you may find of further interest
