From: Aurora

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her infinite and often misplaced wisdom, has procured a small, inanimate effigy of a feline. It purports to be an "Adorable Mini Flopsie Ginger Cat," which I find a rather presumptuous title for an eight-inch lump of orange fluff. It is, by design, completely passive, meant to do nothing more than lie on its belly, weighted down by bean pellets like a common paperweight. The claim of "cloud-like softness" is a bold one, which I will naturally have to verify against the benchmark of my own superior coat. It might serve as a passable chin rest or a victim for a vigorous bunny-kicking session, but its primary function appears to be cluttering up *my* napping territory. We shall see if its passivity is an invitation to friendship or a challenge to my authority.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The thing landed on my velvet chaise lounge with a soft, beany *thump*. The Human called it "Ginger," an insultingly common name for a creature of such garish orange fur. It lay there, a limp, silent mockery of my own species. It had no ambition, no twitching tail indicating a complex inner life, no discerning gaze. It was simply... floppy. I circled it twice, my gray tail giving a single, contemptuous flick. My first instinct was to dispatch it, to show it the fury of a tuxedo cat whose territory has been violated. But then, a flash of brilliance, the kind only a mind unburdened by mortgage payments can conjure, struck me. This was not a toy. This was an opportunity. My grand mission for the afternoon was to conduct a thorough investigation of the Mysterious Drip that had recently formed a tiny, fascinating grotto beneath the kitchen sink. Such an expedition required stealth and, more importantly, an alibi. The Human has a distressing habit of interrupting my important work for trivialities like "cuddles." This orange lump was the key. With painstaking precision, I nudged the effigy with my nose, positioning it just so in the center of the sunbeam that spilled across the chaise. I arranged its limp paws and flattened its synthetic ears. From a distance, its inanimate form could, to a gullible human eye, pass for a sleeping cat. I gave my decoy one last, condescending pat before slinking away toward the kitchen. The expedition was a success. I cataloged the scent of mildew, observed the rhythmic drip of the silver stalactite, and confirmed the presence of a single, very confused-looking spider. It was thrilling work. Upon my return, I peeked into the living room to find the scene exactly as I had hoped. The Human was there, whispering nonsense to the imposter, stroking its cheap fur and telling it what a "good, sleepy boy" it was. The sheer foolishness of her kind remains a constant source of amusement. I watched for another moment from the shadows, a smug sense of satisfaction warming me more than any sunbeam ever could. The creature itself was worthless—no wit, no purr, no elegant tail. But its *function*... its function was sublime. It was my stand-in, my silent accomplice, my furry little patsy. It had passed the ultimate test, not of playability, but of utility. This "Ginger" was not worthy of being my peer, but it had certainly earned its keep. Not as a companion, but as my alibi. A very soft, very orange alibi.
