I don't know where I got five... Yes, at nine he will certainly understand but it is one of those life lessons which we all have to learn. Are you bringing the kitty home for burial or is the vet taking care of that?
This is a really morbid question but how deep do you have to go so that you don't have to worry about anything digging them back up?
This is the first pet that was actually his, he fed her, and had a litter box for her that he scooped, he named her and she followed him around. So it will be even harder.

So sorry Jenn.
Big hugs to your son.
When my brother and I were little, our neighbor's dog killed my brother's rabbit. My dad caught the dog after the act and was able to get the poor bunny body back, but they opted not to tell my bro that it was the neighbor's dog's doing... so he wouldn't hate the dog. Do you anticipate any issues, since I'm guessing your son knew about the neighbor's dog having something to do with this?
Either way, not a fun conversation for sure... hugs, more hugs.

I place a rock on top as a memorial and because.
I always used a piece of flagstone, as it is larger & flat & cannot be easily moved or rolled off the grave. You can also 'write' on it in paint for a 'proper' gravestone.
The dog has tried to bite both my son and my husband in the past, so none of us were fans of the dog to begin with.
I don't see him doing anything vindictive or hurtful to the dog, he just doesn't have that temperament but he will probably hate it from now on.
He also realizes that both cats and dogs are hunters and catch smaller animals.
So I will talk to him about dogs who don't live with kitties and don't know the difference between a bunny or a squirrel and a cat.
We have a new kitty containment plan, which is taking the dogs into the back room which is mostly empty so no hiding places, then shutting that door before letting the dogs out.
That way we don't have to worry about the shooting through our feet.
I don't like them going outside and always worried about something like this happening.
