IMO, the Cait Sith " death" was used to emotionally prepare players for (SPOILER)Aeris's death
I think it was to emotionaly let players guards down for (SPOILER)Aeris's death especially n00bs to the game, back when I was one I certantly fell for it.

So I was completly unprepared for what happened later on... I'm convinced that was what Square was doing, especially when there is a lot of drama before Cait "dies" and the other death was only slightly foreshadowed.
