When I was six, my cat ended up dying, and we saw the body. When I got home that night, there was a cat that looked the same, but was smaller. My mom told me that they took our cat to work, and it shrunk in the dryer.
It wasn't until about fourth grade that I realized she just went and got a new cat.
