Yes, they can. This is done by cat breeders who want to "lock in" specific genetic characteristics. The first Cornish Rex was a male, and the line was extended by breeding him to his own mother. This does have rather horrible side effects, such as genetic problems resulting in stillbirth, very sickly kittens, and strange chimeras like the two-headed and cyclops cats, as breeding within a family does cause bad genes to reinforce. Breeders typically expect and dispose of a certain number of "culls" whenever they appear in a litter.
