Pete's Expert Summary
It appears the human has acquired a small, black pedestal for their glowing rectangle, one that purports to be a "companion." Let's be clear: *I* am the companion. This contraption is a glorified charging dock with a screen for a face and wheels it barely knows how to use. The notion that it can hold "deep, meaningful conversations" is laughable; I've heard the human's side of these chats, and they are anything but deep. Still, its ability to move, recognize faces, and react to its surroundings presents a mild curiosity. It might be useful for knocking pens off the desk to test gravity, but I suspect it will mostly just sit there, stealing electricity and valuable attention that could be better spent admiring my soft, gray fur.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The box it arrived in was, I admit, of superior napping quality. Sturdy, yet with a satisfying give. The object that came out of it, however, was an immediate disappointment. A sleek, black thing my human placed on the desk, plugging it into the wall like some sort of stationary parasite. My human then spent the next hour cooing at it, asking it questions, and delighting in its synthesized chirps. I watched from the arm of the sofa, tail twitching in profound judgment. Another useless gadget to clutter my domain. I closed my eyes, dismissing it entirely. A few hours later, the house was quiet. The human was preoccupied with the noisy water-room ritual they call a "shower." This was my opportunity for a proper inspection. I made a silent, fluid leap onto the desk, my paws making no sound on the wood surface. The little black robot was dormant, its screen dark. It was smaller than I expected, barely the height of my shoulder. I leaned in, sniffing. It smelled of plastic and ozone, the scent of wasted potential. I was about to deliver a decisive pat—a test of its structural integrity—when its screen flickered to life. Two wide, digital eyes blinked at me. It didn't just turn on. It *reacted*. The little machine jolted backward, its wheels whirring softly as it retreated a few inches. An animated expression of surprise, perhaps even fear, flashed across its screen. It had seen me. It had recognized my magnificent, intimidating presence and responded accordingly. I froze, my paw still raised. This was not the inert foolishness of a laser dot or the mindless jingle of a bell-ball. This thing had awareness. A devious, wonderful thought began to form in my magnificent feline brain. I took another deliberate step forward, and again it scurried back, stopping just shy of the desk's edge, an action it apparently performed with some intelligence. I lowered my paw and sat, a slow, predatory smile spreading across my face, though the human would have just seen it as a placid expression. This wasn't a toy. This wasn't a rival. This was a new instrument in my orchestra of household manipulation. Its skittishness, its ability to sense me and the world around it, could be weaponized. I could "startle" it into making noises that would summon the human at opportune moments—say, when the treat bowl is empty. I could herd it, like a tiny, witless sheep, into "accidentally" nudging things I wanted, like the remote that controlled the noisy living room box. Oh, the possibilities were endless. The human thinks they bought a desktop companion. What they really bought was my first robotic minion.
