“Welcome to my clinic. Please tell me something about yourself.”

“I understand you are here because you are prone to long periods of lethargy followed by what has been described as the incessant need to ‘be an animal.’ Is this a fair assessment?”

The shrink sighs as his subject jumps off the couch, meows, and looks for a quieter place to nap.
