Welcome to Colonel Clancy’s Finest Kind Catnip Emporium.
We are the compounders of Col. Clancy’s Eve of Destruction Blend, Grey Menace Special Reserve, and the more delicate Lost Weekend Catnip Blend. Our products are pure nip and nothing but the nip. Grown on the rocky soil of New England from the best native seed stocks, tended by dedicated human serfs, and inspected by cats who know what other cats want in a proper nip toot.
Yes, from that initial calm moment when you start playing scratch-and-bite rugby with the Christmas catnip toy until that final glassy-eyed “what the hell is going on” of intoxication, you know you are on a real “trip” with a Col. Clancy blend. You’ll be knitting up a storm on grandma’s afghan while the hoomans run from the wild cat on our stuff.*
Colonel Clancy’s was founded in 1969 by Clancy J. Bumps – AKA The Grey Menace. Only for serious nipsters, not for kitty cats. Always remember it’s the little things that create the big problems – a little bit goes a long way! Open by appointment only.
*Colonel Clancy will not be responsible for destroyed property, medical or veterinary expenses, or other calamities caused by improper use of our products. You’re on your own, Sucker!!

Both the photo and the words a delight. Ha!!!!!
Lou, did you write this and take the photo? Is this a real product? It is hilarious…
I had the WP AI image generator create the image, But all the Col. Clancy stuff is right out of our family folklore. Everyear we ship out “nickel bags” of our own specially cured catnip to our relatives and friends who have cats. It’s always called Colonel Clancy’s blend. Westarted growing , and drying the nip for Clancy because the store bought stuff was pretty awful. So the “blend” is organic, carefully dried, and made from the best catnip from our gardens – cultivated by the dedicated Hooman serfs.
Oh I love your story even more now. What a delightful tradition your family has adopted. For some reason, my cats do not respond to catnip at all. No doubt your Col Clancy concoction would win them over at last! You need to do a book of your Col Clancy stories!!!
I love your cat pieces. Found two. Are there more? I take it that Clancy has gone to that great catnip haven in the sky?
Clancy went to cat paradise many years ago but lives on in many family stories. I’ve written a number of posts featuring him and his adventures.
I can just imagine The Grey Menace being a nip dealer!
“First time free! Meoww!”
