My cat gave birth to her first litter of 5 kittens under my bed last night, I helped her with the last 2 babies making sure she was okay and the babies were okay. I saw her chewing chords and them huddling her so I thought all was well and went back to sleep on the floor. This morning I wake up to cries and I see that somehow they’ve all gotten tangled to a placenta that I guess she didn’t eat. I managed to undo the tangle a little bit. But they move a lot and are probably undoing all my work. There is a leg stuck in there, and a lot of chords. I cannot cut the chords because there’s not enough Chord itself, they are in pain I think and I’m super anxious about this. It’s been about 20 hours since birth and she has tried to lick at it a few times but goes to sleep eventually. They’re all so tightly intertwined that I can’t move one without hurting another. I can’t go to a vet for a few reasons but that’s not important. Please help me! Am I anxious for no reason? She is a first time mom and I can tell she’s a bit overwhelmed but wants to help her babies, she just doesn’t know how. They’re fed and warm
