DMs cat died yesterday. DS is 2.5 and has always adored the cat, he was the first thing he would look for whenever he gets to DMs house and any mention of Nanny immediately has him saying the cats name. We probably visit DM at least once a week so DS is very used to seeing him.
I'm fairly certain DS has no concept of death, and so was going to try and get away with just saying that the cat has gone away. But having googled articles, it seems advice is to be more honest as otherwise he'll expect the cat to come back.
So Aibu to try and explain that the cat has died, and if I'm not, has anyone got any hints for doing this with a toddler?
