She gave birth to 4 cute kittens but i wasn't there to watch her because we never found where she was hiding and it was at night. Well the next morning she came to us and told us to follow her and we found the surprise! But when i lift them up to pet them i saw they still have their cord on. You noe the belly cord. Do i have to do something about it like cut it or just leave it there?
Please help!

mama will take care of the cord. she took you to see her babies because you are her momms----and she is proud of the present(her kitties) she gae you-----you now need to have her dewormed, and feed her only 5 times every day wert food--she should be eating kitten food until she is 1 year old--she needs more now. make sure her dry food is always available and she gets 5 of the wet food feedings every day so she stays healthy and kittens too.
get her spayed as soon as the kittens are weaned at 6 weeks -8 weeks of age.
keep her indoors so she doesnot get killed by dogs, other animals or mean humans poisoning cats. the babieas need her--and kitties do like to be safe. they will not roam when neutered.

Leave the cord as it is! It will fall off after about 10 days. And get the mother neutered in 8 weeks. A 8 months old cat is too young to give birth and it should not happen again. Please be a responsible pet owner.

Mama cat will take care of the cord, leave it be for now. Make sure to keep her indoors with the kittens until they are weaned- she could get pregnant again immediately.
Congrats on the new family & please have her spayed after the kittens are weaned- it will save her many health problems down the road and there are lots of homeless kittys now.

I would just leave it there, the mother should end up eating it off.
If you do cut it you have to be extremely careful the kitten could bleed if you cut it too short. I would tie a piece of yarn around the cord where you cut it, just as a safety precaution.

Leave their cords alone, they will fall off with in a few days. If you feel they are too long and heavy for the kittens you can trim them just a bit with scissors, but it would be ideal to let them fall off on their own.

2 to three weeks a kittens eyes could open im no longer precisely particular, it doesnt damage them once you %. them up it basically scares them, no longer some thing occurs if the twine doesnt fall off in 4 days because the ambillicol twine doesnt fall off in 4 days, it falls off even as there waiting or previous adequate that it falls off, and if the mum doesnt feed them you are able to continuously rigidity the mum to position contained in the container with the kittens and teach the kittens the position to get the milk and if that doesnt artwork try procuring cat milk at a puppy keep alongside with puppy sensible or the vets place of work.(by way of how who advised you it falls off in 4 days?)oh and in the course of how dont ever feed them human milk it supplies them diarreah. satisfied to help.

Everything is fine, just leave them be, they will take care of it themselves.
Also, best not to pick them up until their eyes are open.
Congrats on your nice family!

Leave it, their mum and nature will take care of it. Just check if the mum is nursing them and cleaning them all right.
