Jokes / "I'm sorry, but the cat died!"

A man left his cat with his brother while he went on vacation for a week. 

When he came back, the man called his brother to see when he could pick the cat up. 

The brother hesitated, then said, `I`m so sorry, but while you were away, the cat died.` 

The man was very upset and yelled, `You know, you could have broken the news to me better than that. When I called today, you could have said he was on the roof and wouldn`t come down. 

Then when I called the next day, you could have said that he had fallen off and the vet was working on patching him up. 

Then when I called the third day, you could have said he had passed away.` 

The brother thought about it and apologized. `So how`s Mom?` asked the man.`She`s on the roof and won`t come down.`
