My cat just ate my sons pet hamster.

Question

There's nothing left of it, so I can't even put it back in the cage and pretend like nothing happened. What do i do

Answer 1

Give the cat the heimlich maneuver.  You might be able to get it back out if you hurry.

Answer 2

Tell your son the truth.  Don't lie i know its hard. When my brothers girlfriend's cat. Killed my iguana they lied to me. They said it ran away. Years later they told me. You have no idea how bullsh*t that is. I wished have would i known earlier so bad. Its better to know the truth.

Answer 3

You have two choices really:-

1) Come clean and tell your son exactly what happen. Depending on his age, he might be totally disgusted with the cat and have a aversive reaction or he might think it's something that cats do if left unattended with a hamster.

2) Go to the store now and get another hamster that looks exactly like dearly departed and say nothing to your son. When asked why the hamster is missing while you are at the store, tell him you brought him for cleaning, grooming, etc. And when asked why is this hamster so different, just say it's because of the cleaning and grooming.

Key point is, can you fool your son? That of course depends on his age. Older kids can be told the truth, younger kids can be spared the truth.

Answer 4

Tell your son the hamster got away and is living a better life in the wild. Then go to Petco and buy a new one...if hes young h**l get over it pretty fast once he has a new hamster to play with...just watch the cat from now on ;-)

if he is a bit older,,now may be a good time to talk about how life is sometimes and give him a chance to learn and deal with these things.
