Why not take your kids to a shelter and do something productive like volunteer to play with the kittens there so they can get some attention instead of raising a cat to become attached and accustomed to you and then giving it away when you've become bored of it?

To me it seems like you're under the impression that pets are simply objects that can be passed around without any sort of impact on the animal. Not only is it irresponsible what you are doing toward the animal, but you're also teaching your kids to think of animals the same way, which is just as wrong, IMO.
