Still Born

My kitty had 4 still born and hairless kittens last night. She still looks pregnant though..... Is that possible? Could she have any live ones if she has anymore?

They are preemies, not fully developed.  She may have had an infection or been exposed to something poisonous.  You should take her to the vet right away to be checked.  I had one pregnant cat whose babies died inside her after the landlady of the house I was renting had it treated for termites without telling me so I could get the cats out, as she had promised to do.  I came home and found the place smelling like moth balls and my pregnant cat lying on her side looking terrible.  I took them all to the vet who said there were no heartbeats and he did a spay/abortion to save her life. 

Oh I am so sorry ! They look like they were born way to early.

Cats can still look pregnant for a couple of days after giving birth. A bit the same like humans it can take a while for the stomach to go back down.

How is mom cat ? She seem ok ? Not nesting or showing any other pregnant signs or distress ?

If I was you I would get her checked over by a vet. If there are anymore kittens I would be worried about infection as the mucus plug as come away, which was protecting them.

She's acting normal, eating, sleeping, playing.... She was in the later stages of pregnancy though. I don't understand how they could have been premies.

She likes chewing on my arm.

Lol bless her

Kittens get their fur growth in about week 6-7 of pregnancy - which make me think they were early. Otherwise the only other thing I can think is there was some sort of genetic problem with them. But I would be surprised if that was the case and she carried them for that long without losing them earlier. It can happen but usually they would lose them much earlier on.

Idk. She is certainly herself today. I was singing the national anthem and she didn't like it so she sat on my face and when I kept singing bit me.

It's possible the kittens died inside her quite some time ago and she is only just now passing them.  Do you know if she was exposed to any toxins that might have killed her kittens without outwardly harming her?  Does she go out?  Do you plan on getting her spayed soon?  This would be a good time to do it.

She was a barn cat at the barn where I keep my show calf. I don't what all she might have been exposed to. She may have been kicked or something by one of the cows or goats or something. We are going to have her spayed soon. She lives in the house now and was pregnant when we got her.

You have to understand that cat development is much different than human development, for better or worse.  In a human being, a difference of 3 days one way or another when giving birth is nothing.  In a cat, it can be the difference between life and death. All cat pregnancies last almost exactly 63 days, with literally only 2-3 days variation.  If you know what day the cat got pregnant, you know, with high certainty, what day she should give birth, and it is rare for this to be wrong, and when it is wrong by more than a day or two, there are unfortunately usually disastrous problems as you've seen    

I would not rule out more kittens potentially being inside her.  Is it at all possible to take her to a vet just to make sure she's doing okay?
