Pete's Expert Summary
It appears my human has acquired a "skateboard," a flat plank of wood on wheels that seems engineered for the sole purpose of rapidly transporting a clumsy biped into a wall. This particular model, emblazoned with the name of some human they call "Tony Hawk," is supposedly made from nine layers of maple wood. While I appreciate the sturdiness—it might make a passable, if somewhat mobile, napping platform—the surface is coated in a "grip tape" that feels like a thousand tiny daggers on my delicate paw pads. Its alleged "portability" only means my human can take this instrument of self-injury with them, likely to show it off to other humans who also enjoy falling down. Honestly, it seems like an enormous waste of resources that could have been better spent on a new cashmere blanket or a shipment of premium, flaked tuna in oil.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The thing arrived in a flat, rectangular prison. My human, Daniel, freed it with a reverence I found deeply unsettling. He called it the "Tony Hawk Signature Series," holding it aloft like a sacred artifact. I observed from my post on the armchair, unimpressed. It was a slab of wood with lurid symbols and four small, hard wheels that looked utterly useless for traversing plush carpet. It smelled of sawdust and foolish ambition. Daniel placed it on the hardwood floor, where it sat, a silent, gaudy intruder in my otherwise tastefully decorated domain. My initial investigation involved a wide, cautious berth. This object was an unknown quantity. It didn't purr, it didn't crinkle, and it certainly wasn't edible. Daniel, in a fit of misplaced youth, attempted to stand on it. The board shot out from under him with a clatter, and he landed on the floor with a sound like a sack of wet kibble hitting the ground. I issued a short, derisive "mrrrow" of judgment. This "toy" was clearly hostile, a trap designed to humble the proud and bruise the clumsy. I decided it was best left to its own malevolent devices. Later that night, long after Daniel had retired to his room to nurse his wounded dignity, I crept downstairs. The skateboard lay in a pool of moonlight, its garish graphics muted to shades of gray. I approached it not as a plaything, but as one would approach a fallen celestial body. I extended a single, pristine white paw and nudged a wheel. It spun with a low, whispery hum. This was not the sound of malice, but of... longing. I leaped aboard. The rough grip tape was an insult to my paws, but I endured. I was not a passenger; I was a conductor. I shifted my weight, just so, and the board tilted, carving a silent, graceful arc on the moonlit floor. For a breathtaking moment, I wasn't gliding on wood; I was skittering across the face of a frozen lake, a shadow moving with purpose and absolute control. I understood then. This wasn't a toy for me. It was a crude attempt by humans to bottle the essence of feline grace—the effortless balance, the silent speed, the ability to land on one's feet. They needed this clumsy plank and its spinning wheels to even attempt what I could do in my sleep. I hopped off, leaving the board to its stillness. It was not worthy of my playtime, no. But as a monument to their envy of my own perfection? I suppose I will permit it to stay.
