A man who dearly loved his cat needed to make a business trip to Germany so he asked his brother to look after the cat and feed it while he was away.
After several days in Germany, he finally had an opportunity to call his brother on the phone and the first thing he asked was, "How's my favorite cat?"
His brother said, "Damn cat died."
Greatly shaken with this news, the man shouted, "HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?"
"You know how much that cat meant to me."
His brother said, "Well, what would you have me say then?"
The man said, "Well, you could have said you and the cat were out on the front porch when a big squirrel ran across the driveway and up a tree.
Like a shot, the cat was after it and charged up the tree in close pursuit.
The squirrel jumped from the tree to another tree and the cat tried to follow it but it misjudged the distance and it fell to the ground.
The impact knocked the cat out but quick as a flash, you picked it up and rushed it to the Vet.
The Vet did all he could but sorry to say, the cat passed away."
That's what you could have said." "By the way, how's mom?"
His brother answered, "Mom and I were out on the front porch when a big squirrel ran across the driveway and up a tree.
Like a shot, mom was after it and charged up the tree..."
