Am put off by the idea of feeding them meat, the costs (jabs), issues in adapting an older one to our household (can't even contemplate training up a kitten!), dealing with their poo (loathe the idea of litter trays, too, but guess that's better than finding ickies in the garden). Our own cat might stalk wild local birds.
But I feel that I want DC to have the shared cultural experience of having a cat or dog, want DC to know how to interact with them, I can see that they'd adore a nice cat as family pet. I grew up with cats, dogs are more demanding pets. We live somewhere reasonably suitable (low traffic roads) & wild mice to stalk. It would keep the neighbours' cats out, & we have tried various rodent pets which we found lacking in many respects.
So tell me what's so great about your cat?
