What to do if my cat doesn't cut her kitten's umbilical cord?

Question

How long should I wait to cut a kittens umbilical cord after the mother gives birth, if she does not ? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed

Half n Half will do it, generally isn't not something humans do for kittens. Cats are pretty self sufficient, and will birth alone and do the aftercare themselves. I would leave her be to take care of it :-)
