A Monday Panzerism

 Panzer on true confessions: Sometimes Mom says, "Panzer, you're a good boy." The sickening truth is ... she's right. No real cat would ever want to be a good boy ...But ... I am so afflicted. It seems that some time ago, on a bright and sunny Druid holiday, I stepped in a patch of good-kitty-ness. And ... Got the stuff all over my beautiful black fur.So ... I tried to lick it off ... Wow! That was good catnip.*And ... contaminated my insides. It was there at that precise moment ... That ... I became a good boy. 
And have been tormented by it ever since.     *From Cat Wisdom for humans
