Yes, there can be several fathers, and because of this there can also be babies of different gestational ages born in the same litter... (I had this happen to me once) One of the cats I was caring for had had a litter of about 8 kittens. All which by the age of 8 weeks should have been fully capable of caring for themselves however 3 of them seemed to be lagging way behind. I consulted the Vet on Staff at the shelter about it and he told me: That all the kittens were perfectly healthy and that it was quite possible that because it is possible for the female to become impregnated several different times and quite possibly by several different males throughout her estrus cycle. The majority of the kittens she became pregnant with were conceived at the beginning of her cycle while the last 3 were probably conceived towards the end, making the first 5 gestation 8 weeks but the last 3 were closer to 5 or 6 weeks (gestational age).
You will be happy to know that all survived and by the time they hit 12 weeks Calendar age the last 3 had caught up to their brothers and sister. One of the actually grew to be 20 pounds of solid muscle.
