The cat's umbilical cord should be bitten off within 10 minutes. For female cats with birth experience, the female cat will bite off the umbilical cord immediately after the kitten is born. Some female cats who have no birth experience may not know that they need to bite off the umbilical cord after the kittens are born. Therefore, if you find that after ten minutes, the mother cat still has not bitten the kitten's umbilical cord, the poop scraper should prepare cotton thread and scissors to help the kitten cut the umbilical cord. First, use a clean cotton thread to ligate 1 cm away from the kitten's navel. After ligation, use an alcohol cotton ball to disinfect the scissors, and then cut the umbilical cord with gloves. Then disinfect with iodophor and remove the cotton thread.

Cat postpartum care matters:

1. If there are other animals in the home, do not let them come into contact with each other until the kittens are 45 days old. Wait for the kittens to Only after they can leave the nest can they be allowed to move freely.

2. Every time a female cat gives birth, it is a drain on her body. She is weak after giving birth and needs to nurse her kittens. She needs a lot of nutritional supplements. Cat food alone cannot meet her nutritional needs. The caretaker can make some postpartum meal for it. Cooked fish, chicken, beef, etc. can be chopped into pieces and fed to the female cat. The female cat can supplement the nutrition before she can breastfeed the kitten.

3. A comfortable environment, provide a warm and quiet private space for the mother cat and cubs, and do not disturb them too much.

4. After a female cat has given birth, the hormones in her body will fluctuate significantly, which can easily cause psychological problems. Especially for female cats who give birth for the first time, they need to pay more attention to her condition at all times.
