Then again, neither does a live cat.<\/li>\n<li>Earl doesn\u2019t say a word when the kids swing him around by the tail.<\/li>\n<li>Earl doesn\u2019t mind watching Porky\u2019s 3 with you for the 87th time.<\/li>\n<li>Earl doesn\u2019t mind if you take out your bad day on him. And neither does the SPCA.<\/li>\n<li>You can \u201caccidentally\u201d put Earl in the microwave and he won\u2019t explode like your other pets.<\/li>\n<li>Earl won\u2019t hang on your pant leg with his claws embedded in your flesh.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll never mistake his singing for being in heat. In fact, he\u2019s guaranteed never to say a word.<\/li>\n<li>When Earl gets stuck up in a tree you can leave him there. After all, you threw him up there in the first place.<\/li>\n<li>if Earl gets fleas you can seal him in a plastic bag for weeks on end until they all die.<\/li>\n<li>You won\u2019t have to renew your subscription to Cat Fancy magazine.<\/li>\n<li>Earl won\u2019t wake you up howling in the middle of the night because he\u2019s in heat.<\/li>\n<li>You can take Earl on vacation with you to another country and immigration won\u2019t quarantine him.<\/li>\n<li>Earl won\u2019t whine when you feed him, then turn up his nose at the Chunky Tuna Supreme and walk away.<\/li>\n<li>If Earl needs stitches there\u2019s no need for an expensive trip to the vet, you can do it. With a sewing machine if you like.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t have to put Earl out at night or let him in at 3am cause he\u2019s waking up the whole neighborhood with his howling.<\/li>\n<li>There are no health laws against taking Earl to a bar or restaurant.<\/li>\n<li>You can roll over Earl in the middle of the night and he won\u2019t mind a bit.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s no need for a pet sitter when you go out of town.<\/li>\n<li>When people ask you what you feed your cat, you can simply say \u201cI don\u2019t\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>If you close a door and Earl\u2019s head is in the way, no big deal.<\/li>\n<li>Earl can get run over by a lawn mower and no one will care.<\/li>\n<li>You can tell Earl to stay the hell off the counters and he will.<\/li>\n<li>Got a messy spill? Earl is much more absorbent than a live cat.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t have to drop Earl off in the middle of nowhere to get rid of him.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s no need to drop a couple hundred bucks to get him neutered.<\/li>\n<li>Earl will never, ever throw up a fur ball.<\/li>\n<li>You can take Earl with you on the subway, and ask perfect strangers if they\u2019d like to see your pussy (cat) \u2013 and live.<\/li>\n<li>You can drag Earl behind a skateboard all day long and not hear a peep out of PETA.<\/li>\n<li>if Earl gets sprayed by a skunk, you can leave him outside until the smell goes away \u2013 No matter how long it takes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>If you have some reasons you think Earl the Dead Cat is better than a live cat, <a href=\"https:\/\/earlthedeadcat.com\/#contact\">let us know!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
