When I was young I had a cat called Fluffy.. after a few good years she disappeared, my parents told me she'd run away with a boyfriend...
Only when I was 16 did I decide to confront them about it. I said "Mum, dad, Fluffy didn't runn away. She died didn't she?"
They told me she'd actually been sold to someone else. And I thought (and STILL think) I would have prefered if my kitty had died
