Keep in mind that the uterus of a cat is a Y shaped with two horns, and there could be kittens located more to the body of the uterus as opposed to the end of the horns. While Gg could have four kittens, it's very likely she has others than cannot be seen. There is no way to know how many kittens she has without seeing a vet. X-rays can be done that will show exactly how many kittens she is carrying.
