I have two sister cats about one year old. About two weeks ago one of the cats had 5 kittens and the delivery and all went smoothly. The other cat, that we didn't know was pregnate, went into labor tonight suddenly and had two kittens. She cleaned them right away but didn't cut the umbilical cords and didn't eat the placenta. She then left the kittens and I cut the umbilical cords with scissors because the kittens seemed to be struggling. She then went and got in the sisters box with her kittens and laid down. After about 10 minutes both of the moms got up and went in the room with the newborn kittens and the sister cat, not the kittens mom, started eating the placenta. Is this normal for two cats to take care of the others kittens? Is there anything I should do?
