my brother found a kitten in the barn at my parents house saturday night so my fiance & i went over to the house the following day and brought all the medicine and unopened cat food we had bought for Binx. this kitty is solid white, and she's not in as bad as condition as Binx was but she may lose her eye.
here are some pictures...

her face i think is the only thing that needs improvement. she has the same color eyes as Binx, and she looks to be the same age/size. Also, since we found them in the same general area, thats another reason we think she may be a littermate to Binxy.
we havent named her yet so we call her "kitty".
kitty seems to be pretty healthy other than her eye. she has some dried up guck on her face, which we think is from the eye infection. oh and it appears that she has a cut on her lip, so maybe she was attacked? idk BUT she knows what food and water is. she knows how to poop and pee (this is exciting to me because Binxy didnt know what any of that was). she actually pooped on me yesterday and peed on me early this morning, and she even scratches like she is trying to cover it up. we have been putting the gel antibiotic on her eyes and her eye has improved greatly even over the past 24 hours (she has improved since these pics were taken), its not oozing puss anymore, and its not nearly as swollen but we dont know if she will get her vision back. the nerve attached to her eye is still working though because she actually moves both eyes, i just dont think she can see out of the left one.
she sneezes here and there, so we have been sprinkling a LITTLE bit of the viral infection stuff on her food. i am doing half the dose instead of the whole recommended dose. i'm just being really cautious with this kitty. we havent taken her to the vet yet. I just want to see how well she improves with what we do before the vet wants to load her up with medications. i do think she may very well be related to Binx!!!!
