At 1-5 days, the umbilical cord will be attached and dry. Around 4-5 days of age the kitten will naturally lose the umbilical cord. Never attempt to remove it manually; allow it to fall off on its own. The first 48 hours of a kitten's life are a critical period for obtaining maternal antibodies through nursing.

All kittens are born in a thin membrane birthing sac, which your cat should remove as soon as her baby has arrived. If she does not do this you will need to gently tear open the sac (do not use a sharp object, it's fragile so your hands should suffice) as soon as possible to allow the kitten to breathe.

After the umbilical cord is cut at birth, a stump of tissue remains attached to your baby's belly button (navel). The stump gradually dries and shrivels until it falls off, usually 1 to 2 weeks after birth. It is important that you keep the umbilical cord stump and surrounding skin clean and dry.
