does it sound correct or not whatsoever?
My pussy cat bore fifteen kittens into existence, seven of which had come out the other way around. (here I mean that their bum came out first following by the rest of their minuscule body).

I don't see anything grammatically wrong - but it sounds odd.
I'd say "My cat had 15 kittens. Seven of them were breech."

I think the medical name for this is "breech birth" so maybe just say "seven came out breech" or "seven were breech births".
"Pussy" is now vulgar slang for women's genitals. See the double entendres in the video below:

hmm this sounds quite funny to me. Perhaps try: "My cat had fifteen kittens, seven of which came out backwards"... or "My cat gave birth to 15 kittens. Seven of them came out bum-first." either of those could work

Hi TestUser,
Firstly, we don't say "pussy" cat anymore. This usage of that word was more widespread decades ago, but these days, the word "pussy" has become a synonym for...something else.
To answer your question, while your grammar is fine, it's best to be specific and simply say "seven of which were born with their rear ends coming out first." This way, there's no confusion as to what you mean.
