When a kitten is born it is totally dependent on the mother cat. At birth kittens eyes are closed and can't see for about 2 weeks. The purring of the mother cat attracts the kittens to the mother for comfort and nourishment. The mother cat normally will stay with the kittens for about 3 weeks except for going food and going to potty.
Shortly after birth the mother cat will check to see if the kitten moves inside of the sac. If it moves she then opens the sac by licking it with her tongue. Then she will clean the kitten. During this process she will cut the umbilical cord with her teeth and eat the after birth (placenta).

Mother rabbit eat the new bunnies head off?
A rabbit's natural instinct is to protect the herd (warren). In the wild dead baby bunnies attract predators so the mothers will eat them. They also eat any after birth. Sometimes mothers who are having a hard time giving birth will bite and/or tear at the babies while giving birth. This is why so many of the breeds with bull dog type heads have such low live birth ratios. It is hard for the mothers to give birth.
