Of course.
Cat belly buttons don't look quite like the human version, being basically an elongated scar, often hidden by hair, located just astern of the rib cage.

Yes, they do. See below
If you had looked closely enough you would have found that cats are indeed equipped with navels, notwithstanding the fact that they (along with dogs) are born in amnionic sacs. Admittedly, cat belly buttons don't look quite like the human version, being basically an elongated scar, often hidden by hair, located just astern of the rib cage. Virtually all mammals, including apes and lions, have umbilical cords and hence navels.
And BTW, the mother cat usually chews the cord.

Yes, cats have belly buttons, because they are attached to their mother by a placenta. Their belly buttons are not as pronounced as a humans, though, and are not as easy to find. They look more like a chicken pox scar than a belly button.

My cat had kittens and I looked for a belly button and I saw it. They DO have belly buttons!

Good question. Isn't it amazing that they somehow disconnect the chord without a problem yet humans have to have this elaborate process and sterility, etc., etc., etc. Animals kick our butts on so many levels.

They don't look like ours, but any live-bearing mammal (not platypusses) will have one. Check in roughly the same area, and you'll notice where there is a curly-cue in his fur..I think it's in there.

Yes, but it is different than ours. Also you can't see it because of the cats fur.
