Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in a display of what I can only assume is a catastrophic misunderstanding of feline entertainment, has presented me with a small, dense, gray rectangle. This object, a so-called "Intelligent Flight Battery" from a brand named DJI, is apparently the beating heart for that infernal buzzing contraption they call a drone. On its own, it is a spectacular failure as a toy—it does not roll, squeak, or possess even a hint of catnip. However, its promise of providing "up to 31 minutes of flight time" to my nemesis, the Great Whirring Sky-Gnat, is intriguing. This extended power means a longer, more strategic hunt for me. It could be a tedious marathon of noise, or it could be a worthy, sustained challenge to my predatory genius. The potential for a truly epic battle of wits is there, even if the "toy" itself is as thrilling as a nap... which, I admit, is quite thrilling, but in a different way.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The ceremony began with the usual cooing noises the human reserves for new, shiny things. From a cardboard box, he produced not a feathered wand or a crinkly ball, but a dense, gray brick. He held it out to me. I sniffed it once, registered the sterile scent of plastic and metal, and turned away to pointedly groom a single, perfect whisker. The message was clear: you have brought home a paperweight, and an uninspired one at that. My disappointment was a palpable, silent judgment that hung in the air between us. But the human did not seem to get the message. He took the gray brick and, with a series of clicks that set my teeth on edge, inserted it into the belly of my sworn enemy: the four-armed Sky-Terror that occasionally plagued the peace of my living room. A small green light blinked to life on the brick, a tell-tale heart in the plastic beast. I stopped grooming. My tail, previously a relaxed plume, went rigid. This was not a paperweight. This was an organ transplant. This was the dark magic that would give the monster life. When the drone lifted off, it was different. Before, its flights were short, frantic bursts, ending almost as soon as I had formulated a proper attack plan. But now, powered by its new, "intelligent" core, it moved with a chilling confidence. It hovered with an unnatural stability, its buzzing a steady, taunting thrum that vibrated through the floorboards and into my very bones. For a full thirty-one minutes, it patrolled my airspace. I did not chase. Chasing is for kittens. I stalked. I melted into the shadows behind the ficus, my gray fur a perfect camouflage against the planter. I observed its patterns, its stable energy output creating predictable, elegant arcs through the air—a dance of defiance I intended to interrupt. The human, engrossed in his little controller, flew the Sky-Terror in a low, sweeping pass over the Persian rug—my rug. He thought it a game. I knew it was a challenge. As it approached, I didn't lunge wildly. I gathered my haunches, my mind a cold calculator of speed and trajectory. This "safer flight" system hadn't accounted for me. I exploded from the shadows, a tuxedoed blur of focused fury, aiming not for the body but for a disabling strike on a forward propeller. I was airborne, claws extended, a fraction of a second from glorious, silent victory when the drone abruptly ascended, responding to a frantic command. It had escaped, but only just. The gray brick was, in itself, an insult. But as a source of prolonged, strategic combat? It has earned a measure of my respect. The hunt is on.
