A Panzerism
Panzer on inertia: What's His Name is really mean. He woke me up a little while ago to call me lazy.
They're getting heavy again.*
He doesn't realize this, but a cat's eyelids are really very heavy. I've got to close them a lot ... for a long time ... or risk serious injury. * From Cat Wisdom for humans
