Cutting a kitten’s umbilical cord should usually be left to the mother cat, but if she does not, you can carefully assist. Use clean, sterilized scissors and cut about 1 inch from the kitten’s belly, then tie with clean thread or dental floss to prevent bleeding. Always disinfect the area gently and monitor for infection. For more information please visit https://www.kittykinds.com... https://www.kittykinds.com/can-a-newborn-kitten-survive-without-its-mother/
