Pete's Expert Summary
My human has acquired what appears to be a box of glorified gravel and various smelly fluids. The brand name, "JOYIN," suggests an emotion I find tedious, and the purpose seems to be for small, loud humans to deface perfectly good, smooth rocks that would otherwise be excellent for batting across the floor. While the process of applying wet, sticky paint is a clear threat to the integrity of my tuxedo coat and a complete waste of my supervisory time, I will concede a flicker of interest. The potential for these rocks to become glow-in-the-dark paperweights for my sunbeam naps, or for the included "wiggly eyes" to become a detached, huntable prey item, means this entire absurd endeavor might not be a total loss. It all hinges on the quality of the glow.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The operation began under the harsh glare of the kitchen lamp. The Human, whom I shall refer to as The Alchemist, was hunched over a collection of smooth, gray stones, her tools of transformation spread before her: tiny vials of pigment, brushes of varying fineness, and suspiciously sparkly substances. I watched from my observation post atop the refrigerator, my tail twitching in a slow rhythm of profound skepticism. She dabbed and swirled, turning a simple, respectable stone into a gaudy bauble with purple stripes and unsettling, stick-on gems. Another was slathered in a sickly green paste, then afflicted with two googly eyes that stared into the void. This was no art form; it was a desecration of perfectly good geology. Once her strange work was complete, The Alchemist arranged the defiled stones on a sheet of paper and left them to "dry." This was my chance. I leaped silently from my perch and padded over to the scene. The chemical tang of the paint was an affront to my delicate senses. I gave the googly-eyed green one a tentative nudge with my nose. The eyes shimmied with a pathetic lifelessness. I batted a smaller, metallic-blue rock; it skittered a few inches, its magic clearly superficial. A disappointment, as predicted. I had seen all I needed to see and was preparing to retire to the sofa for a serious nap when The Alchemist returned. She performed one final, bizarre ritual, holding each stone under the bright desk lamp for what felt like an eternity before placing them on the living room rug. Then, with a click, she plunged the world into darkness. I let out a huff of annoyance, but it caught in my throat. For on the floor below, a miniature constellation had ignited. The rocks were no longer rocks. They were silent, pulsating embers of light. The swirly one glowed like a trapped nebula, the gem-encrusted one like a dragon's lost treasure, and the sickly green one... it now pulsed with a soft, ethereal life, its googly eyes catching the faint light from its own body, making it look like a startled forest spirit. I crept closer, my cynicism melting away into a profound, primal awe. This was not a collection of painted pebbles. It was a silent, nocturnal garden of light, created just for the dark hours when the house belongs to me. I lay down before them, my chin on my paws, a silent guardian for this newfound magic. I reached out a single claw and gently tapped the green creature, making its eyes wobble in the dimness. It was, I decided, a worthy spectacle. The Alchemist, for all her foolishness, had accidentally created a masterpiece.
