Yeah I agree, I think it has been a learning experience - esp for my 11 yr old. He was in such a state this morning, but the burial really helped. Then we took them bowling & swimming to cheer them up. He is still upset but much more philosophical about it - we've talked about how happy Fluffy was when he was alive, what great care he took of him etc etc. Now he's just thinking about getting another cat - even if it's not as good as Fluffy!
