Mammals, such as kittens, have a cord that connects them to the placenta. The placenta transfers food and oxygen to the baby while it is growing. That cord, the umbilical cord, goes from the placenta to the navel (or, on a cat, where the navel would be). Sometimes that cord can get wrapped around part of the body during birth.
