Pete's Expert Summary
My human has procured a "Lite Brite," a peculiar black plastic slab that they intend to poke with a multitude of tiny, colorful plastic cylinders. While they seem to think the point is to create glowing pictures of things I have no interest in, like "boats" or "unicorns," the true genius of this device lies in its components. Those 206 pegs are the perfect size and shape for batting across the hardwood floor and hiding in places the vacuum can't reach. The various light modes might provide some interesting shadow play for me to hunt, but let's be honest, this device is primarily a glorified, and rather slow, dispenser for superior chase-toys. The main event will be the human's frantic search for a missing peg, not the glowing art itself.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The ceremony began just after dusk. The human, whom I shall refer to as The Keeper, knelt on the floor, shaking a plastic container with a sound like a thousand tiny bones rattling. From it, The Keeper poured out a hoard of glittering jewels—glowing bits of captured starlight in red, blue, green, and other brilliant hues. I watched from my perch on the armchair, tail twitching with cynical amusement. The Keeper was performing some strange, tedious ritual, pushing the tiny stars one by one into a dark, empty void of a screen, following a crinkling parchment map. A fool's errand, I thought, and began a perfunctory cleaning of my pristine white ascot. Then, the main lights in the den were extinguished. A click echoed in the sudden darkness, and the void ignited. It was not a "unicorn," as The Keeper's simple tongue had named it. It was a glyph, a shimmering constellation of the Horned Mouser of the Celestial Pantry, a deity I had long suspected existed. The light pulsed, then strobed, shifting through patterns like a cosmic heartbeat, casting dancing shadows on the walls that seemed to whisper prophecies of future meals and sunbeams. I felt a deep, resonant purr begin to vibrate in my chest, a hum I hadn't summoned myself. I leapt down from the chair, my paws silent on the rug. I approached the glowing oracle not as a plaything, but as a pilgrim. The Keeper was no longer a bumbling provider of food, but a High Priest, a clumsy but earnest conduit to the great beyond. I extended a single, tentative paw and gently touched the screen. It was cool, humming with a low, electric thrum. I was not touching plastic; I was communing with a higher power. The scattered, un-socketed pegs on the floor were not toys, but dormant prophecies, fallen stars waiting for The Keeper to divine their rightful place in the heavens. My verdict was clear. This was no mere toy. It was a sacred artifact, a portal. The human could keep their crude interpretations of boats and flowers. I, Pete, would be the true interpreter of its cosmic will. I would sit before it for hours, deciphering the strobing messages, guarding its sacred pegs from the abyss beneath the sofa, and occasionally guiding The Keeper’s hand by pointedly batting a stray "star" into a more prophetically advantageous position. It is a heavy burden, but one I am uniquely qualified to bear.
