why do they say 'it looks like your cat died' when your trousers are too short?

Answer 1

It can be anything that died, the emphasis is on the trouser legs flapping above your ankles, flying at half-mast as it were. Flags are flown at halfmast when someone important dies usually.

Answer 2

Well here up in the north east of England we as teenagers would say "Has your budgie died" This was meaning trousers were too short and you raised your trouser's to mourn the death (like when you raise a flag for a death)
