You keep mentioning that it will not be your cat, but your wife and kids'. Does this mean in every respect? Will you feed the cat if they are not home? Will you give it away the first time it has an accident on the floor? If it has an emergency will you be driving it to the vet at 4am or will you tell your wife and kids "not my problem, you wanted the damn thing, not me."? Will you be willing to give it shots if it develops diabetes?
Think about this, these are things that can and will probably happen. You may say to yourself that it's not your pet, but unless you live in a completely separate reality it will fall upon you to help take care of it. You can't just wash your hands of responsibility and say "not mine".

lol, yes I can guarantee you I would not be giving a cat shots if it developed diabetes. Is that even a thing? My wife and I both just had a chuckle at that.
