When they are born, kittens already have fur; additionally, they are born still encased in their amniotic sac and with the placenta attached. The pressure of being born usually breaks the sac, letting the amniotic fluid out, but does not remove it; the mother cat licks the kitten to remove the remnants of the sac and start the kitten breathing.
