How long does it take for a female cat to cut the umbilical cord and not bite?
If the mother cat still doesn't bite the kitten's umbilical cord after waiting for 10 ~ 15 minutes, sharp and clean scissors can be used to help the kitten cut the umbilical cord to avoid sudden symptoms and endanger the life and health of the mother cat. At this time, the mother cat will lie on her side and nurse the kitten.
The length of umbilical cord will affect the normal life of cats, such as walking. Too long umbilical cord will also increase the risk of infection, which will lead to bacterial peritonitis in severe cases. Therefore, after the cat is born, it is necessary to cut the umbilical cord of the cat in time, or wait for the mother cat to bite the umbilical cord for the kitten, but disinfect the end of the umbilical cord. Cats are very delicate, so we must take good care of them to avoid catching a cold.
Generally speaking, if the female cat has had production experience, then the owner need not worry. When the kitten comes out, the mother cat will bite off its umbilical cord in time. Of course, if a cat has never given birth, it may not know that the umbilical cord needs to be bitten off after the kitten is born. So if it is found that the umbilical cord has not been bitten off after ten minutes, then the owner should prepare cotton thread and scissors, and then there will be a cotton thread between the mother cat and the kitten, which can be cut directly from the middle.
