Re: Possible stuck kitten!!
Fourth kitten is breathing and moving - good - this sounds as if the sac has been removed and baby is doing ok. Placenta will follow in due course. If you are impatient, you could hurt the little one so just make sure mum cat doesn't inadvertently sit on baby. If baby gets cold, that is not good. Can you pick baby up and move it a bit further away from mum (ie how long a thread attaches the placenta?)?
If you have a good length, it might be an idea to allow an inch and a half from baby and pinch down hard on the cord, then if you can tie this with a piece of cotton. Take clean round ended scissors or finger nails and cut the bit between the tied end and the bit nearest the mum cat. Baby will then be free to be picked up and wrapped in a warm next with brothers and sisters whilst waiting for the fourth placenta to emerge. Make sure you see it coming out.
