Question: does the cat die in hide and seek

Answer: Yes, Following his discovery of the body of his wife (Amy Irving) in a bathtub after her apparent suicide, Dr. David Callaway (Robert De Niro), a psychologist working in New York City, decides to move with his 9-year-old daughter Emily (Dakota Fanning) to Upstate New York. There, Emily makes an apparently imaginary friend she calls ``Charlie''. Her friendship with Charlie begins to disturb David when he discovers their cat dead in the bathtub, who, Emily claims, was a victim of ``Charlie''. Meanwhile, David has nightmares of the New Year's Eve party that occurred the night before his wife died.
