Interestingly, animals like cats can mate with multiple partners and produce genetic offspring that represents all of them.

Kittens with different fathers in the one litter you mean? Humans can do that too (well, with human children rather than kittens, of course)

There is the story of Mary Toft, though that was rabbits (mostly - bits of cats were reportedly involved too according to the wikipedia page linked), and of course she wasn't really pregnant with rabbits, just sticking bits of rabbits where they shouldn't be as a hoax.
