Dead Cat
Jim let his dog out to relieve himself late one night. He watched some TV, and then remembered to let the dog back in. When he opened the door, he was shocked at what he saw! In his dog's mouth was his neighbor's cat, dead!
"Bad dog! BAD DOG!" said the panicked man. He took the cat away and looked at it. He couldn't bring himself to tell his neighbor what happened, so he decided 1 to clean it up and leave it on the neighbor's porch. He took the cat into the bathroom and washed off all the blood and dirt. It took him forever. He had to wash it four times to get it all cleaned. He brushed it's beautiful white fur as he blow dried it, and put its collar back on. Since it was so dark, he crept into the neighbor's yard and laid the cat down on the porch in front of the door.
The next day, he was on his way to the car to go to work and his neighbor was outside. "Hi," he said.
"Hi," replied Jim, nervously 2.
His neighbor said, "Something weird 3 happened last night.""Oh yeah? What's that," asked Jim, sweating now.
"Well, my cat died yesterday, and we buried him. This morning he was lying on my front porch!"
