So my cat's new kitten (and her only, and yes, we're positive he's the only one ;) ) was born late Sunday night, and he's been doing great! Today, we looked at him, and we saw his umbilical cord ,dried up on the floor. We looked at his belly to make sure it wasn't tugged out, or that he had a hole in his belly, and it looked like his belly was healed, not a hole in sight! I was told that umbilical cords fall off after a week, but his just came out today (He's approximately four days old) is that natural, even though its early? He is acting like he usually does, he doesn't look injured or anything, just keeps nursing and sleeping, and all that normal kitten stuff c:

-Thanks! :)
