My cat had kittens, but it's been 20 hours. Is she still in labor?

Question

Kitty gave birth to 7. All within 24 hours. I swear I can feel another in there. She is acting fine. Not distressed. The last one was born 20 hours ago. How long is it safe to wait and see if number 8 comes? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

While cats can take a break between kittens, 20 hours is long time between kittens and I would take Kitty into the vet now to be safe. Be sure to bring all her kittens with her as well. Best of luck!
