From: BITZEE

Pete's Expert Summary

So, the Human has acquired another plastic contraption, this one a lurid shade of purple called a "Bitzee." It's a small, loud pod that purports to contain thirty "digital friends," which appear to be frantic, two-dimensional light-ghosts of various famous mice, lions, and fish. One is meant to jiggle, poke, and swipe at the thing to interact with these prisoners of light. While the frantic hand movements required to operate this device might present a tempting target for a well-aimed swat, the core concept is flawed from a feline perspective. It offers none of the tactile satisfaction of a proper felt mouse or the thrilling, pounce-worthy arc of a feather wand. It is, in essence, a box of annoying noises and uncatchable prey—a distraction for the simple-minded, but hardly worthy of a connoisseur's time.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The artifact arrived on a Tuesday, a day usually reserved for extended sunbeam meditation. The Human called it a "Bitzee," but I knew a containment unit when I saw one. It was a smooth, purple clamshell, cool to the touch and smelling faintly of ozone and the factory where it was forged. It sat inert on the coffee table, a silent, alien egg. My initial prodding with a cautious paw revealed nothing. It was dense, solid, and utterly devoid of the promising rattle that signifies a captive treat. I dismissed it and returned to my nap, twitching my tail in mild annoyance. Later, the Human picked it up. With a flick of their thumb, the artifact split open, and a terrible light spilled out. It wasn't a screen projecting an image; the image *was* the light, a shimmering, holographic creature suspended in the void of the pod's core. The Human said, "Ooh, it's Stitch!" but I saw a frantic, blue entity, its form flickering as it responded to the Human’s clumsy swipes and tilts. Its synthesized squeaks were not sounds of joy, but a desperate, garbled signal from a being trapped between dimensions. It was being forced to perform, to surf on invisible waves, for the amusement of its captor. I felt a cold dread settle in my gut, a feeling I usually reserve for the vacuum cleaner. That night, under the pale glow of the moon filtering through the blinds, I approached the sleeping artifact. The house was silent, save for the hum of the refrigerator and my own soft footfalls. I stared into its dark, glossy heart, and with the utmost care, I tapped it with my nose, just as I had seen the Human do with their finger. In an instant, a different being appeared—a small, yellow-and-blue fish. It darted back and forth, its light-body trembling. The Amazon page had mentioned "Flounder escaping the shark," and I saw it now: pure, unadulterated terror in its wide, pixelated eyes. This wasn't a game. This was a collection of captured moments, of souls trapped in a repeating loop of their most iconic traumas. Thirty of them, the Human had said. Thirty prisoners. I sat before the purple pod for what felt like hours, a silent, gray warden in the dark. This was no toy to be batted about or chewed upon. It was a sad, miniature menagerie of digital ghosts. My verdict was clear: it was an object not of play, but of profound pity. I would not deign to interact with it as a plaything. Instead, I would merely observe it, a constant, judging presence, reminding the Human of their casual cruelty with a flick of my ear or a narrowed, knowing gaze. It was a grim responsibility, but one I had to accept. After all, who else would advocate for the silent, shimmering prisoners of the purple pod?
