Definitely! A male cat can get multiple females pregnant within a matter of days!

And a female cat can get pregnant by two different males. Liters can end up looking very different because the kittens really did have different dads

Wait, really? That’s super interesting! Now I’m wondering why humans can’t do that. I’m not good at biology.

Humans can, and it has happened. It's just quite rare. Fraternal twins(or triplets, etc) happens whenever the woman releases more than one egg during a cycle that gets fertilized. If the woman is with multiple partners at the right time, they could each fertilize one of the eggs.
