Disadvantages: Predictable to a large degree

Everyone knows about this particular story, for those who don’t, here’s a short summary in short:

Behind the new house of Lovis Creed and his family lies a sematary for pets, but beyond that is a lesser known and more feared sematary which was an ancient burial ground with magic of it’s own. Whilst his wife and children are away, the family cat gets run over and he gets told by his neighbour about the other sematary and the cat after burial comes back to life, but (obviously) isn’t too happy about it and so on until it gets normal to bury all his dead in the alternative sematary.

My question is, is he a concerned father who wants to keep his daughter happy, who would be distraught to find her beloved pet cat dead or was he thinking that he would be blamed for the death of the cat and wouldn’t be the best dad in the world anymore (as far as the daughter was concerned)?

I found this book, although entertaining, not unpredictable. I enjoyed the book, but I also like to find an element of surprise or horror. Not Stephen Kings best, but an early one, so I’ll let him off.
