Our cat is 'orrible. She won't go near the children. Once they are in bed she won't leave me alone. We used to have her brother, who she was fond of, but he had an accident, spent some time at the vets and she chased him away - neighbour took him on in the end. Our children are 5 and 2 - she won't be in the same room as them, not ever. Wondered if a kitten, or a young cat might be the way forward. Would like the children to be able to see the cat, maybe even get close enough to stroke it!

Would a kitten/young cat help our miserable anti-social cat - or would it be a disaster?

A male rather than a female etc? That's fighting talk on this board! (Although personally, I agree. 
)
I don't think you can realistically consider rehoming her at going on 12. She reminds me of my Siamese boys. While Siamese as a whole can be great family cats if they get used to DCs early enough, they can bond ferociously with one person to the point that that's 'their human' and everyone else is just wallpaper at best and an irritant at worst. She's had over 6 years of no children, remember.
So - not 'orrible, just a bit middle aged and set in her ways.
