My cat gave birth 4 days ago. Could she still have more kittens?

Question

My cat already birthed 6 kittens (4 days old now). My cat used to be protective of her kittens before birth, every time I go near the stomach she almost scratches me, but now after those 6 kittens she seems all relaxed. My problem is that I kind of felt something close to her stomach could there possibly be more kittens? Does taking birth for other kittens take that long? She seems relaxed when I get close to her stomach area I even kind of picked her up and still seems completely fine. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

If Bella is eating and drinking ok, and doesn't have diarrhea or vomiting or seem sick in any way, then she does not likely have other kittens left. At this stage Bella would be very sick 4 days after going into labor if this was the case. As long as she is nursing her kittens, all the nipples seem to be normal and producing milk, and they kittens are growing a little every day, then things sound great!
