Can pregnant cats go into heat?

I've read very different answers to this question. Apparently it is possible for them to conceieve more kittens while pregnant and deliver them at a later date?? Is this true? Has anyone experienced this?

Yes, its not that common but fully possible.  So for example, I had one neigbour whom had a cat from such a second litter.

She was sure, she told me the story.  It was a barn cat, and the peasant did what they usually do, drowned the litter.  But 3 weeks later come this kitten, and this time he respected, as it was a Miracle of the Nature, and let him live and be raised.  And found him a good home in town - my neighbour.
