She may not be hungry if she ate all the placentas. She may need to eliminate all she’s eaten the last couple of days. However, if this continues, she may have a fever or infection. Watch her closely.

How many kittens did she have? Are they nursing well?

How many cats do you have in total?

Three kitten, looks like they are nursing well. I have two mamma cats. Four days ago this cats 7month old kitten passed away . I was worried thinking she might be depressed.
How long it takes to pass all the placenta?

I’m so sorry you lost the older kitten.

Placentas should pass when the cat gives birth. If a placenta is retained in the uterus it can cause infection.

Do you spay and neuter your cats?

Looking over your prior posts it sounds like you have:
1. A 5-year-old female cat that gave birth June 7 2021 to 1 kitten
1a. Kitten died June 17​
You failed to spay this cat and she got pregnant again, giving birth mid Aug 2021 to 3 kittens
1b, c. Two stillborn kittens​
1d. Male kitten born mid August 2021, which had panleuk starting around Dec 4 and died around Dec 18 2021​
2. Baghini, a female cat that gave birth June 17 2021 to 3 kittens
2a. Kitten that died sometime before June 22 2021​
2b. Female kitten had irritation around the anus June 24 2021 and got very ill July 22 2021 and died at some point​
2c. Male kitten that had worms Oct 18 2021 and died Jan 25 2022 (what did he die from?)​
You failed to spay Baghini and she got pregnant again, giving birth on Jan 26 2022 to 3 kittens
2d, e, f.​

There is something seriously wrong here. It is NOT normal for owned cats to have such a high kitten mortality rate, and it is extremely irresponsible to continue letting your intact female cats outside to breed. You seem hesitant to spay because you said desexing killed two other kittens in the past, but considering at least 7 of your intact kittens have died in the last 6 months the vet may not be to blame. If you are not going to get your cats spayed you MUST keep them indoors-only and never around intact male cats to stop this cycle of awful animal and human suffering.

Does she drinks say, milk? goats milk or kmr. Or possibly, raw cow milk. If you live in the country, you could surely find, either goats milk or raw cow milk. Raw cow milk is safer than pasteurized cow milk.
Goats milk is OK, either raw or pasteurized.
or kmr.

If so, give it to her. It wont help her IF she has any serious fault on her, but she will at least get some useful nourishment.

Ouch, splendid catch....

May it be inbreeding since some generations? If so, its even more important to spay and neuter at all costs.

How is the mother cat today? Is she eating and drinking now? Has she pooped normally?
