Get her spayed and that behavior will stop, also you won't be risking lives, hers and babies.

Okay so today is day 10 of jasper being inside and having his feedings supplemented by me. Im only feeding 2-3 times a day now. I check on him every couple hours and if his stomach is distended or seems full i dont feed. So the first day i checked he weighed 91g today before any feedings he weighed in at 152g. So thats about 6g a day since i started with the feedings.
I remember someone said they should grow 6-10 g a day so should i increase my feedings since hes on the lower end or is all good? Thanks

You want him to be gaining more per day, so I think you should feed a bit more. You can also weigh him daily so you know how much he is gaining per day. Is possible he was gaining less at the beginning and is
He's gaining the minimum, so you can feed him more often, and/or more formula at each feeding. If he goes for it, he needs it. If he pushes it away, he's full. It's almost impossible to overfeed a growing kitten! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I love the stink eye photo from momma cat-she looks to be saying-buzz off!
I too am amazed how well you have been caring for Mr. Jasper. His tail is so cute.
Once the kitten is 8 weeks old-spay momma-she is too old to go through another preggy situation AND she will not be so grumpy for being indoors.
Not sure where you live-but we have supervised visits outside-they don't go out unless I am home.And I join them in the yard-I am always doing yard work so its not too much of a pain. Most of the time I am snapping photos of my fuzzbutts.
Keep the feedings up=you may want to try for 4 times a day as the kitten should be getting much bigger now-and you are doing the right thing with not forcing the feedings. And miss Mom cat probably relieved to have a safe place to sleep at night without worrying about people or animals preying on her..

Lol moms actually a sweetheart with me, just bad picture timing. But i do have a good sized yard but too paranoid to take my cats outside.

Adorable! I don't blame you for not taking your cats out. It's always a risk.

I'm so happy for all of you. Definitely no outside time until everyone is vaccinated and spayed!

Are you sure it's roundworms, not the litlle rice-like tapeworms?
And did they treat mom for both tapeworms and roundworms?
You'll need to take both mom and kitten to the vet for treatment. Mom needs another treatment, and Jasper will need worming too. He's too young for vaccines, but can be wormed now.

Aren't they supposed to come out after a treatment? I thought that was what should happen.
Yes. They come out in the stool. And mom will need a follow-up treatment. It's different meds for tapeworms and roundworms. Kitten definitely needs treatment now too.
