is it actually neccessary to have dental floss to tie off the cords when your cat is having kittens? i dont see why, cause if the mother does it herslef i dont see her taking some string and tieing it up. and if i do need it, is it ok if it has mint flavor, cause thats all i can find. i thought skeeter was supposed to have her kittens last night or the night before, and now i think she should have them tonight, but i dont know, i know that she is very close.
