My girl Penelope gave birth to 1 kitten but that was 2 hours ago and there is a black sack hanging from the area. I'm not too alarmed about the black sack because I saw it hanging before the first birth. It's just the fact that's it's been so long. Should I do anything? This is a first for both of us so any tips for a new kitten granddad would be great

Do you have access to a vet to phone and ask? Usually the sack is returning in after a short while...

This sac is attached to something inside her uterus. Do not pull on it. She may expel it eventually. I agree that you should show this picture to a vet.

Let us know what happens.
