You have to wait until the mother cat lets you. One of my cats decided I needed to play with her day-old kittens...she picked them up one at a time, deposited them in my lap and left them there until she figured I'd had them long enough...at which time she collected each kitten and took them back to her bed.ok from suzie438 that is cute

∙ 14y agoThis depends on the mother cat...ours let us touch them when they were just a few hours old! We started to hold them when they were a few days old and lengthened the time slowly, we didn't take them out of her sight at all and only for a few minutes at a time. She was awesome about sharing as long as we respected her by keeping them in eyesight!

∙ 13y agoi would say not to touch them as soon as they are born because the mother will probably want to clean them and feed them as well, if i were you i would only pick them up after they open they're eyes which is about two and a half weeks after just to be on the safe side, if you want to pick them up earlier, ask a veterinarian.

∙ 11y agoOf course you can touch the kittens afterbirth, but try not to hold them to much because they need to bond with the mother for at least a week before being held continusley.. But other than that its fine, you will need too keep that kittens\mother warm throughout birth&after

What to do with the umbilical cord attached to kitten and after birth?
leave it alone don't touch the kittens (they are to fragile at birth I wouldn't touch them until they are at least a week old (unless its winter then I put them in a towel or something). Its a mother cat's nature to eat the umbilical cord and all the blood and other fluids because in the wild usually mother cats hunt, but if they have kittens they can't so they have to eat the fluids and umbilical cord.
