Pete's Expert Summary
My human has procured a 'fidget toy' from a company ironically named SMALL FISH, which is an immediate strike against it as it is neither small nor a fish. It's a blocky contraption of interlocking plastic squares designed to be endlessly folded in on itself. The intent, apparently, is to soothe their simple, stressed-out minds and improve their focus on tasks that aren't 'feeding Pete.' While its silent operation is a mercy, preventing disruption to my napping schedule, I remain skeptical. It doesn't squeak, skitter, or contain catnip. Its only potential lies in its satisfying heft, which might make for a decent paperweight to knock off a desk, but as a source of genuine feline enrichment, it's likely a profound failure.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The object first appeared in my human’s hand during what I call the “Great Stillness,” that time of evening when she stares at the glowing rectangle on the wall. It was a slick, black stone of foolishness, a cube that blossomed and collapsed without a sound. It did not click so much as *shift*, like tectonic plates on a world made of plastic. She would turn it, fold it, and invert it, her expression blank, her attention stolen. An intruder. I watched from the arm of the sofa, my tail twitching in silent judgment. It was an insult to the art of play. For days, this was the routine. The cube would appear, and her mind would wander into its silent, geometric labyrinth. I ignored it, focusing my efforts on more important matters, like calculating the precise velocity needed to trip her on the way to the kitchen. But one evening, as the low sun cast long shadows across the rug, I noticed a pattern. Not in the cube itself, but in the light it cast. As she folded it from a cube into a flat rectangle, the shadow on the wall morphed, creating a fleeting silhouette that looked, for one astonishing second, exactly like a bird in flight. My skepticism wavered, replaced by a cautious curiosity. I crept closer, settling onto the floor and feigning indifference. The human, lost in her tactile trance, continued. A flip, a fold. The shadow became a mouse, its long tail stretching toward the baseboard. Another series of movements, and it was a moth, fluttering its abstract wings. My human was a puppeteer, and she didn't even know she was putting on a show. She thought she was calming her nerves; in reality, she was creating a silent, moving mural of my greatest desires on the living room wall. The cube is worthless. A cold, hard lump of ABS plastic. But its shadow... its shadow is a masterpiece. The toy is not the object, but the ephemeral ghost it casts upon the wall. I will never touch the cube itself—that would be beneath me. Instead, I have found a new evening ritual. I wait, a patient predator in the dim light, for my human to unwittingly conjure my prey from the darkness. The hunt is abstract, a silent dance of light and shadow, and it is, I must admit, exquisitely worthy of my attention.
