Here is what I think.
You can, but its better to understand to use niños here; because 1.) It is the direct translation
2.) The use in context can change alot.
3.) Not forming bad habits, accidentally calling someone elses children your own.
Mi hija es una niña. - My daughter is a child. Mi niño es un hombre. - My boy is a man. Can sound silly As well as talking about children who are part of your group but are not your desendants. So Ellos son mi niños, pero es mi hijo. Those are my children, but he is my son. To differentiate the two.

The "s"on nuestros and hijos in this sentence must be correct? If the sentence read...Nuestro hijo tiene un gato...would be correct right? I just want to be clear in my head..many thanks in advance! D
