Do feral cats specifically moms with kittens come back to a lair they were scared away from?

It is possible. If a mother feels that her kittens are in danger, she will often come back to carry them away, to a new location. Be sure not to touch/handle the kittens, as this may encourage the mother to abandon them, or even kill them, if she doesn't wish for them to fall prey to a predator.

Does the mom cat stimulate her kittens to pee and poop?
The mother cat will be really ticked off at you if you disturb her litter of kittens. If they are wild, that is. Chances are, if you touch a mother cat's kitten or kittens, she'll neglect them after the scent of human is on her kittens. Translation: She's saying, "They touched you and I'm not caring for you anymore." This however is not true. For I have touched feral kittens and the mother still took care of them. Even though at times I would have gloves on. Which I learned that it doesn't matter whter you do or don't. The mother will get ticked off thinking you are going to take away her babies. In due she'll bring them back to there they were.

I had a friend who used a simple wooden box with a stick under it and a long rope attached to the stick, and cat food under the box. Worked a bit better than we expected; he caught not only the kittens, one at a time, but also the mother! The kittens were weaned so we gave them away. I kept the mother and had her spayed later. Took two months to tame her.
