    @Sobex We never could approach the mom; always a distance of 3, 4m and running away at any quick movements.
    Two weeks ago, she started to be aggressive to the kittens, until a point where she returned to the forest... She still visits at night and we feed her, but behave with the kittens as if they were strangers. I have no hope for domesticating her.
    But at one point, I'll have to catch her, and bring her to the vet for sterilization; or we'll have another stray kitten delivery next year.

    @davidrevoy Aww, yeah, adults take a lot of patience and a slightly different strategy. They can be done (I've made friends with three already), but sometimes they simply won't. I wouldn't give up on her yet, especially since she's still coming to feed, but she definitely plays by her own rules.

    It took a few months to be able to touch the little man; I had a "safe zone" on top of our cat house where he was fed and very slowly acclimated to touch. It took another year for him to feel 100% safe.

    @ToonLink You are right. I'll not give up and keep the feeding long term. At least, she might not respond at all to whistling/calling but she is like a clock for her visit for food. Around 1am, she seats in front of the door and wait. When I open the door, she run like 8 meters away. I leave the food, and then I have to close back the door. Only then, she come and eat.
    She really has a maximum security protocol with humans.
