A mother cat will mate with a son. Cats do not know that inbreeding is wrong. Their natural instinct is to mate with the opposite sex. It is not necessarily wise to inbreed cats, as it can have an adverse effect on the offspring, such as health issues.

You could, but the offspring might suffer disabilities and such from genetic problems from matching DNA. Basically your breeding half the mothers genomes from the son with the full of the mothers genomes, and one third, not half of the offspring would be from its Mothers DNA.

yes, so you should probably get them fixed before anything happens between them. Inbreeding can result in problems for the offspring down the line.

That is called inbreeding and SHOULD NOT be done. It can cause serious birth defects that could be fatal

What is the origin of the idiom 'she's the cats mother'?

In England, it is improper to refer to your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. as he or she. And a male cat is a tom cat, a female cat is a she or she cat. So, if a child should refer to his mother as "she" it would be common for another authority figure to say, "Who is she? The cat's mother!" for example, Father: Where is your mother? son: She's in the kitchen. Father: Who is SHE? The cat's mother! son: Sorry, I mean, Mother is in the kitchen.
