Parents are choosing to NOT tell the child because they don't want the child to be upset. Child is 3.5 yrs old.

So when the child asks about the cat, where is the cat etc...they say "Oh, I don't know. He must be outside chasing mice or something. He'll probably come in later on." ANYTHING to redirect and deflect.

Then the mom tells me that they are even keeping the cat's food and water dish out so the kid doesn't catch on.

I'm sorry but
Oh my . I suppose the cat is just going to live forever

I blame the "parents today" vents on the internet. Every time a new parent has any kind of question they take to the internet. As we all know "if it's on the internet it must be right" .

In the my day (I can't believe I just said that) new parents relied on their mothers, grandmothers or other people with more experience to help them when they needed it.
