Sam you need to be a bit more specific than that-
Don't panic, rip the placenta and tear it gently off the kitten. The kitten's face needs to wiped with a clean warm cloth- You want to cut the cord about 3/4 inches from the kitten's belly and tie it off with a piece of dental floss. If the kitten is unresponsive, please rub the little one briskly but not rough with a warm towe until it responds. You need to have sterilized scissors when you cut the cord-
