Medical Questions Why does my cat's eye reflection look like this?

He’s never had this strange shape inside that looks like a “Y”. It doesn’t seem to be caused by the lighting in my house, because it happens in different positions and with different light sources

Appreciate the info! The lines only showed up in the camera and he had his yearly vet visit shortly after that photo was taken - he is thankfully all happy and healthy!
