Good information already posted! The key is to be honest. Letting the kids know that the passing of the animal sometimes happens, and that it is natural.
A "ceremony" always helps with the closure issue. Whether you actually bury your pet in the yard or simply establish a memorial is up to you. Either way, it is important to emphasize that you can still remember your pet, even when it's gone.
Sorry that you have to let your cat go. I grew up with cats myself, and have always liked having them as animal companions.
