And, it does sound like straight forward prey drive. That's a crappy situation all around. And, a question for you, what the heck do the kids there have to do with you adopting a kitten or two? It's not up to them. Again, my two cents.
Thank you for correcting their "wrong and rude thoughts"

The kids rule the household.
