Ever wonder why I called the red-headed kitten Ginger One? That’s because there’s Ginger Two. Both of them are having some goo in their eyes, I’m cleaning their eyes everyday. Anyway, some say Gingers don’t have souls, one of the kittens definitely has one.

How cute! Being a ginger myself, I can assure you, we have souls 🙂
Lots of kittens have gooey eyes. When I got my kitten, she was pretty lethargic and had runny eyes. The vet diagnosed her with upper-respiratory infection and after a round of antibiotics, she was happy, active, and clear-eyed. I highly recommend a vet visit if you haven’t already done that.
My vet also told me that most cats have herpes in their eyes, as my cat does, and I just give her a supplement called Viralys every few days to keep it in check. It’s cheap and it’s a gel so I just mix it in with some canned food and she eats it.
