'CakePHP ignore Record not found in table exception

There is no record with ID 0 on purpos. And I'm doing 

$id = 0;
try { 
  $object = $this->MyModel->get($id); 
} catch(Exception $e){
  //Nothing
}

And I still get the exception thrown "Record not found in table".

How can I ignore, that there is no record with the given ID with get($id) and avoid the exception?

$this->MyModel->find('all', ['conditions' => ['id' => $id]])->first(); seems to be the shortest code without getting an error on non-existence of an element.

The other problem was, that I used Exception instead of the correct \Exception, that's why the error was thrown despite the try-catch-block.

You can also try making the relationship a LEFT join.

Insde MyModelTable.php

        $this->MyModel->belongsTo('ParentTable', [
            'foreignKey' => 'parent_id',
            'joinType' => 'LEFT',
        ]);

Why not using if statement?

$id = 0;
$object = [];
if ($id){
  $object = $this->MyModel->get($id); 
} else{
  $object = [];
}
