it seems that 4 of the 6 kittens the stray queen gave birth to in my garden yesterday morning are entangled in a gordian knot of umbilical cord, faecal matter and hair. I have done all i can to clean up the mess, but without drastic action there seems absolutely no way to seperate the poor little fella's. I am absolutely distraught and feel completely useless. I do not know what to do next. Isn't severing of the umbilical cord something the mother should do? i only ask because the mum herself, is probably still a kitten, of no more than 6 months of age.
any advice greatly appreciated
