Pete's Expert Summary
My Human, in their infinite and often baffling wisdom, has procured a kit from a brand called DARME. It appears to be a collection of hard plastic shells and fabric straps, ostensibly for the protection of a small, wobbly human. It contains a primary concave vessel—which I suppose they call a "helmet"—and a variety of smaller, articulated pieces for knees and elbows. While the intended purpose of safeguarding a clumsy biped from the consequences of their poor coordination is a complete waste of my time, the set does have potential. The helmet itself, with its ventilated design and soft inner liner, could be repurposed into a rather modern, high-tech napping pod. The smaller pads might serve as adequate batting fodder, and the crinkly storage bag is, of course, a promising ambush location.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The box arrived on a Tuesday, an offense to my post-lunch grooming schedule. It smelled of plastic and distant factory dust. The Human prattled on about "safety" and "a gift for little Timmy," a small human cousin who occasionally visits and disrupts the household's delicate gravitational balance with his stomping. The box was opened, revealing a collection of glossy black armor. I watched from my perch on the armchair, feigning disinterest, as Timmy was strapped into the contraption. He looked like a beetle preparing for a joust. The main piece, the DARME helmet, was placed upon his head. He was then sent outside to terrorize the driveway on some wheeled menace. I yawned. A futile attempt to defy gravity. Later, the chaos subsided. Timmy had been returned to his own territory, but the helmet remained, left upside down on the living room rug. A dark, hollow shell. The Human had fiddled with a knob on the back, and I'd heard a series of satisfying, crisp clicks. My ear twitched. I descended from the armchair with the calculated silence of a true predator and approached the object. It was surprisingly lightweight. I nudged it with my nose; it barely moved, the "rugged ABS shell" holding firm. My true interest lay within. Peering over the edge, I saw the "soft liner," a cushioned nest of black foam. But the genius of the design, from my perspective, was the array of eleven vents perforating the top. They were not for "keeping kids cool," as the Human's glowing screen had suggested. No, they were perfect paw-sized portals. I could be safely ensconced inside my fortress, yet still bat at any dangling string or unsuspecting ankle that passed by. It was a tactical masterpiece. A throne and a bunker, all in one. I carefully stepped inside, my paws sinking into the shock-absorbing foam. It contoured perfectly to my curled form. It was dark, secure, and impeccably ventilated. When the Human returned and saw me, a soft gray king with a white tuxedo ruling from a black plastic throne, they simply laughed. Let them laugh. They thought they had bought a helmet. What they had actually acquired was my new command center. The DARME brand, previously unknown to me, had proven its worth not in protecting clumsy children, but in crafting a superior napping vessel for a cat of distinction. It was, I decided with a deep and resonant purr, acceptable.
