I would strongly suggest you not attempt this - boric acid can be very caustic and if applied to or around a cat's eye could result in the cat losing that eye to chemical burns. If the cat is young (less than 1 year old), you can use warm water compresses to loosen the crusty material that gums the eyelids closed and gently wipe over the eyelids to help remove the pus. If the cat is older or the conjunctivitis doesn't resolve within a few days, you should take the cat to your vet.

Is boric acid poisonous to cats?

It is toxic to cats, meaning it can kill them. If you are using it for roach or other insect pest control, it is usually OK unless you put it in areas where the cat will walk, because then the cat will get it on their paws and lick it off. Do not use boric acid at all around kittens, as they tend to explore more and would be more likely to get into it and die from it. See the Related link below.

When using borax and cat food to kill ants how much of each do you use?

You're doing it the hard way. Boric acid is a staple of off the shelf baits- you are trying to manufacture it at home and hoping the species of ant you are after will be drawn by the cat food. Search Fluoridated ant bait stations- they are commercial quality and the best I've used yet. Irresistible to almost all ants.
