Yes, mother cats do mate with their offspring. I had cat which had become so old that my family members used to call her grandmother cat. I had once seen her mating with her offspring and THEIR offspring at different times!
Basically, a cat sometimes won't bond with her kittens, and won't recognise them as her own, and in her confused and stressed state she will see them as prey or a threat and attack them. Cats (and dogs) will also kill their young if they feel stressed and unsafe.
