mother is, after 12 years, still afraid of me but she knows where
"home" is and comes in when she eats and sleeps.

Yeah, eats cat food at home but spends the rest of the time killing off the
competition.

Trap neuter and release is the option, NOT euthanasia. Remember what
happened in the bubonic plague, when cats were eliminated? Perhaps it
is feral cats that will "save" us from the avian flu!

Because there are no birds left in your neck of the woods. No thanks, I
tend to enjoy watching the birds at the feeder.
