This was the best picture i could get. But im pretty sure she is feeding the baby. I went to feed again and her stomach was smaller but still seemed full. She took some formula but not much and i didnt want to force her to eat.

oh, that little face!  How about that...you're a cat daddy!  BTW...if the information is of use to you...most women are suckers for men who love cats, and to be bottle-rearing one gets you LOTS of brownie points!  Even old women like me melt just a little!  I'm so proud of the job you are doing!

Thanks for the info haha.


So today I only fed the baby once all other times i checked, he/she seemed like he/she had a full stomach. I weighed kind of late but it was 128g today

I snapped this picture right before she was done with the feeding.

When can I treat for worms? I haven't seen any signs in the mommas poop but id rather be proactive. Thanks

You can treat mom anytime. Baby gets first vaccines and de-worming at 8 weeks. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Thanks for the support guys! He/she has gotten alot bigger. I really notice it in the head and ears! And yes I love the way the ring tail makes it look like a racoon.

When can i determine sex? It will either be named Luna or Jasper and I want to know what to finally call him/her. Thanks!

Looks like a male to me too.  I can see what will most likely develop into a little scrotum.
