There is certainly a real possibility there are more kittens that were not delivered. Most of the time, cats do not give birth to just one cat, though I have seen it happen a handful of times. Usually the kittens are large in this case. You can try to palpate around Daisy's lower abdomen and see if you feel anything that feels like a skeleton or is the shape of a body. You can also see if Daisy begins to exhibit any signs of illness over the next day or so, though I wouldn't probably wait that long. The safest thing to do would be to have her examined by a vet, where they can snap an x-ray to check for any bony structures within her uterus or birth canal.
