You're anthropomorphizing animals too much. Cats don't "want" children. Beyond a basic biological need they don't give a shit about procreation. It's not even a difficult question, ethically speaking. In almost every environment they exist in cats are considered invasive, reproduce like crazy, and tend to be incredibly destructive to local species. To be clear, I don't think there is anything wrong with owning a cat, but it's important to do so responsibly.
