By: Mould King

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in his infinite and often baffling wisdom, has procured a box of 487 tiny plastic hazards from a company called "Mould King," a name that does not inspire confidence. From my observations during the lengthy, curse-filled construction period, it is a miniature, non-functional replica of a noisy car part. The appeal, I suppose, is in the "visible" and "running" components; the whirring of its simulated pistons and turbocharger could provide a brief, hypnotic distraction between naps. However, the sheer amount of time my staff was dedicated to clicking these pieces together, time that could have been spent stroking my magnificent gray fur, suggests this is likely another monument to human boredom that will do little more than gather dust and take up valuable space on the desk.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The thing sat on the Human's desk for two days, a silent, gray-and-red idol of plastic. He had spent the better part of a weekend hunched over it, his muttering the only soundtrack to my afternoon slumbers. I had watched the process with detached scorn. Another monument to pointless industry. But on the second night, a storm broke. The wind howled, rattling the windows in a most displeasing way, and the sky flashed with brilliant, cold light. I was perched on the back of his chair, surveying my domain, when a particularly violent crack of thunder coincided with a bolt of lightning that bleached the room white for a second. In that fleeting, over-exposed moment, I saw it. Inside the engine's transparent head, where the little plastic pistons sat motionless, was the shimmering, translucent form of a squirrel. It was frantic, its ghostly tail twitching, its tiny spectral paws scrambling against the clear casing, utterly trapped. The lightning faded, and the apparition was gone, but the image was seared into my mind. This wasn't a toy. It was a prison. A spirit trap constructed of cheap plastic and misplaced human ingenuity. My life changed. The sunbeam by the window lost its allure. The plush rug in the hall felt suddenly mundane. I became a sentinel, a silent guardian stationed by the desk. I would stare for hours at the clear housing, searching for any sign of the captive. I began to understand my purpose: I was the only one who knew the truth. I was the warden, the keeper, and perhaps, the liberator of this poor, imprisoned woodland soul. The Human, of course, completely misunderstood. "Oh, Pete! You like the engine!" he'd chirp, reaching over to flick the switch. The machine would whir to life, the pistons pumping in a frantic, mechanical rhythm. He thought the low hum and clattering soothed me. He saw my paw tentatively tapping the casing and assumed it was play. He was wrong. I was studying the prison's mechanisms, trying to commune with the panicked spirit within, to let it know it was not alone. This machine was not a worthy distraction. It was a solemn duty, a puzzle I had to solve. And it would require my full, undivided attention.

4D Build Star Wars Millennium Falcon 3D Model Kit, 𝖲tar Wars Gifts, Ѕtar Ｗars Toys Desk Decor for Star Ｗars Fans & Collectors, Adults & Teens 12+

By: 4D Build

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human has acquired a box full of flat, perforated sheets of what they call 'cardstock.' From my understanding, this is a tedious project for two-leggers, involving punching out 223 tiny pieces and fussing over them with smelly glue to construct some sort of gray, lumpy spaceship. The primary appeal, as I see it, lies not in the final, dust-collecting display piece, but in the glorious chaos of those small, lightweight punch-outs, which are practically *begging* to be skittered across the hardwood and lost under the credenza. While the human's prolonged concentration on this 'satisfying craft challenge' is a tragic waste of potential lap-and-petting time, I must admit the final, rather large, object might offer a novel, if precarious, napping spot.

Key Features

  • DETAILED REPLICA: Embark on an epic building adventure with a film-accurate Star Wars room decor piece. This 4D Build Millennium Falcon cardstock model kit has movie-quality intricate detail, plus glue and a stand

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The invasion began on a Tuesday. The human, my supposed staff and guardian, sat hunched over the coffee table, a place usually reserved for my mid-morning lounge. From a large, flat box, a plague was unleashed: hundreds of tiny, oddly-shaped cardboard squares. They were the first wave. I watched from my perch on the armchair, the tip of my tail twitching, as the human methodically 'punched out' these invaders. Each one that escaped the human's clumsy grasp and fluttered to the floor was a hostile scout. I met them with the swift, silent fury they deserved, a quick one-two of my white paws sending them skidding into the dark abyss beneath the sofa. One down. 222 to go. The war of attrition raged for what felt like days, an eternity in cat-time. My human, clearly a collaborator with the enemy, began assembling their primary vessel. Using a tube of pungent, forbidden goo, the flat pieces were fused together, forming strange, angular structures. It was a mothership, taking shape right in the center of my territory. I conducted several daring reconnaissance missions, sniffing at the skeletal framework whenever the human was distracted by the glowing rectangle on the wall. It smelled of processed wood and chemical adhesive—the unmistakable scent of an off-world threat. I considered a preemptive strike, a full-body launch to shatter their nascent fortress, but the collaborator was ever-watchful. Then, it was finished. It rested on a black plastic stalk, a silent, gray behemoth dominating the credenza. It had nooks, crannies, and a strange satellite dish perfectly sized for a single paw. For a full day, we were locked in a stalemate. I stared at it; it stared back, unblinking. It offered no food, no warmth, no purring vibrations. It was an inert usurper of prime sunbeam real estate. My initial skepticism curdled into disdain. It was useless, an affront to good taste and functional design. But then, during a high-speed chase involving a rogue sunbeam, I took a flying leap onto the credenza. My landing was… imprecise. I bumped the ship. It wobbled precariously on its stand. And in that wobble, I saw its true purpose. This wasn't a mothership. It was a challenge. A gravity-based puzzle. With a delicate, calculated nudge of my nose, I pushed it again. It swayed. A little harder. It tilted further. The sheer, unadulterated joy of knowing that I, with one perfectly executed shove, could send this entire, painstakingly constructed 'masterpiece' crashing to the floor in a glorious explosion of cardboard… well. Suddenly, this wasn't a waste of space at all. It was the most tempting, long-term-playability toy the human had ever brought home. The game was afoot.

Maisto 1:24 Scale All Star Assembly Line 1929 Ford Model A Diecast Model Kit Small

By: koenig-tom

Pete's Expert Summary

So, The Staff has brought home a box of metal fragments from a brand called Maisto. It purports to be a "kit" for assembling a miniature, primitive horseless carriage, a 1929 Ford Model A, if the box art is to be believed. This means my human will be occupied with tiny screws and a laughably small screwdriver instead of focusing on his primary duties: opening cans and providing chin scratches. While the promise of a small, heavy object with rolling wheels has potential for a satisfying shove off the mantelpiece, the assembly process seems like a colossal waste of what could otherwise be my napping time. The appeal of the individual, battable parts is high, but I suspect they will be quickly consolidated into a less-interesting whole.

Key Features

  • Highly detailed 1:24 scale diecast model kit of 1929 Ford Model A
  • Comes with everything needed for assembly including screwdriver
  • Features opening parts, rolling wheels and pre-painted metal body
  • Easy to assemble, creates fully functional rolling replica model car
  • Fun and educational STEM activity for kids to build realistic miniature vehicle

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The indignity of it all. The Human spread the contents of the box across the Great Rug, a sacred napping territory, creating a junkyard of gleaming black metal and tiny, silver bits. He called this "a project." I call it an invasion. I circled the perimeter, my gray tail giving a single, dismissive flick. He was the bumbling apprentice, and I, naturally, was the foreman. My first order of business was quality control. A small, black, circular object—a "wheel"—lay tantalizingly close to the edge of the rug. With a deft, tuxedo-cuffed paw, I sent it skittering across the hardwood. It wobbled beautifully before vanishing under the sofa. Excellent acoustics. The Human muttered something and crawled on his hands and knees to retrieve it, a fitting posture for one of his station. My attention then turned to the most fascinating piece on the field: the tiny, shiny screwdriver. A perfect scepter. As The Human fumbled with aligning the chassis to the main body, I saw my opening. A silent leap, a soft landing, and the tool was mine. I paraded it into the hallway, its metallic taste a strange delight against my tongue. The project was, of course, halted as The Human pleaded for its return. This power was intoxicating. I only relinquished the scepter in exchange for a treaty, ratified by the rattling of the treat bag. Finally, after what felt like an eternity of my expert, and apparently unappreciated, supervision, the thing was complete. It sat there, a solid, immobile black lump. All the glorious, individual components—the skittering wheels, the pilferable screws, the magnificent scepter—were now trapped within this mundane shell. The Human nudged it towards me. It rolled, yes, but it lacked the chaotic freedom of a single wheel. It was heavy, but its potential energy for a fall was no greater than a paperweight. The fun, I realized with a yawn, had been in the deconstruction of the process itself. The hunt for loose parts was the true game. This finished product? It was merely a monument to a few hours of glorious, tool-stealing, part-batting chaos. A decent memory, but a boring toy. I turned my back on it and leaped onto the sofa, the site of the wheel's temporary liberation, and began a well-earned nap.

TAMIYA Jeep Willys 1/4 Ton 4X4 Hobby Model Kit for ages 168 months to 1200 months

By: TAMIYA

Pete's Expert Summary

Ah, yes, the Human's ritual of tiny, fragile constructions. I see this is from Tamiya, a respectable name. I know this because the boxes they use are of a superior-grade cardboard, perfect for a preliminary nap while the Human fusses with the contents. This particular box appears to contain the pieces for a small, wheeled transport from one of their ancient wars. It comes with an assortment of tiny, sticky pictures and a miniature, non-functional human frozen in a state of unnatural calm. From my perspective, the primary appeal lies not in the final, static object, which is far too small to sleep on, but in the chaotic assembly process. The potential for a single, well-placed paw to send a crucial piece skittering into the void beneath the sofa is immense, providing hours of entertainment as the Human hunts for it on his hands and knees.

Key Features

  • 1/35 scale kit
  • Includes driver figure in relaxed sitting pose
  • Decals for five vehicles

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The smell of fresh plastic and industry arrived one Tuesday. The Human, with the focused intensity he usually reserves for opening a can of my wet food, laid out the gray, branch-like structures on his work mat. He called it a "sprue." I called it a pre-packaged mess. For days, the quiet hum of the house was punctuated by the delicate *snip* of his clippers and the low, guttural curses he muttered when a piece smaller than my claw-clipping defied his clumsy tweezers. I observed this entire operation from my command post on the high-backed chair, a silent, gray-furred general watching his subordinate assemble field equipment. When it was finished, he placed it on the end table—a silent, olive-drab intruder in my territory. In the low light of evening, I began my reconnaissance mission. I crept forward, my tuxedo-white paws making no sound on the hardwood floor. The object was diminutive, barely taller than my leg. Its tires were hard plastic, holding no scent of the earth they were meant to conquer. On its side, a tiny white star—one of the "decals" he had painstakingly floated in a saucer of water—stared back at me, a cryptic sigil of this new tribe. The most curious feature was the driver. A tiny man, permanently at ease, one hand resting on the wheel. He wore a helmet, but his face was placid. He did not react as I brought my nose to within a millimeter of his. He did not flinch when the puff of my breath should have sent a mortal man reeling. He was a stoic, a stone-faced sentinel. I respect that kind of discipline. He was clearly a professional, assigned to watch this sector of the living room. I gave him a slow blink, the highest form of feline approval, acknowledging his post. I concluded my inspection. This was not a toy. A toy is a thing to be vanquished—a feathered wand to be disemboweled, a laser dot to be cornered. This... this was different. This was a monument. A high-quality, precisely-molded testament to the Human's bizarre hobbies. It would serve as a useful landmark on my nightly patrols, a silent companion during my long vigils. I gave its front bumper a gentle, testing nudge with my nose. It held firm. Satisfied with its structural integrity and the unflinching resolve of its driver, I curled up on the rug nearby, assigning myself to the same watch. The Jeep was not for playing, but it was worthy of my supervision.

By: Playz

Pete's Expert Summary

My humans have procured what they call a "Playz V8 Combustion Engine Model Kit," a preposterous collection of 270 tiny plastic bits that apparently forms a miniature, transparent version of the noisy heart inside their metal chariot.

The intent seems to be a "hands-on STEM experience," which I can only assume is human for "building a loud, useless object."

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The final piece was assembled on the coffee table, a shrine of clear plastic and garish red wires. The Male Human, chest puffed with the pride of a canary who has successfully sung a single note, hovered a finger over a button. I observed from my throne atop the velvet armchair, giving my gray tuxedo coat a perfunctory lick. It was, I had to admit, a complex little thing. I could see the inner workings—the pistons poised for action, the rubbery belts connecting various wheels. A monument to tedious, pointless effort. Then, he pushed the button. A horrid mechanical symphony erupted. A low whirring from the fan, a rhythmic, plastic-on-plastic clatter of the pistons, and a tinny, recorded roar that was an insult to felines everywhere. It was a cacophony, a disorganized racket. The humans cooed in delight, blind to the sheer lack of artistry. It was offensive. An untuned instrument left to play itself in the center of my living room. I felt a deep, primal urge not to hunt it, but to correct it. To bring order to its chaotic noise. I descended from the armchair with the silent grace of a shadow and approached the chattering contraption. The humans mistook my interest for play, the simpletons. This was not play; this was a critique. I extended a single, perfect paw, claws sheathed, and gently tapped one of the moving belts. The rhythm hitched for a microsecond. An improvement. I stared intently at the pistons, trying to will them into a more pleasing syncopation—perhaps a waltz-time. They ignored me, continuing their frantic, witless dance. I circled the engine, my tail giving a slow, judgmental sweep, my professional assessment forming. Finally, I sat before it, met the frantic energy with a wall of serene stillness, and delivered my verdict with a slow, deliberate blink. It was a failure. All motion, no meaning. All sound, no soul. It possessed the technical complexity of a puzzle box but lacked the elegant simplicity of a well-thrown bottle cap. I turned my back on the clattering mess, leaped back onto my chair, and began to groom with intense focus, pointedly ignoring the noise. The performance was over, and it would not be getting a good review.

Rustark 21Pcs Modeler Basic Tools Craft Set Hobby Building Tools Kit for Gundam Car Model Building

By: Rustark

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented me with what appears to be a glorified tackle box filled with shiny, pointy things. This 'Rustark Modeler Basic Tools Craft Set,' I've deduced, is not for the noble arts of chasing or pouncing, but for the human's bizarre ritual of assembling little plastic effigies of robots and cars. The tools themselves—pliers, files, things too sharp for sniffing—are an obvious waste of my time. However, I remain cautiously optimistic. The true value lies not in the kit, but in the collateral entertainment: the tiny plastic pieces that will inevitably be dropped, becoming first-rate floor-skittering toys, and the long hours the human will be sedentary, creating a prime, warm napping surface. It's a high-risk, medium-reward proposition.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The air in the study grew heavy with a scent I knew well: the sterile perfume of new plastic and a human's misplaced ambition. My servant had laid out the contents of the Rustark box under the glare of a desk lamp, transforming the placid wooden surface into some kind of high-stakes operating theater. On a green mat lay the patient—a dismembered creature of gray plastic, its limbs and torso still unnaturally fused to a flat, skeletal frame. The tools, glinting like a surgeon’s instruments, were arranged with unnerving precision. My tail gave a slow, apprehensive thump-thump-thump against the rug. With the intense focus of a bomb disposal expert, the human selected a pair of carbon steel pliers. A sharp *snip* echoed in the quiet room. A leg, severed cleanly from the frame. My ears swiveled forward. This was no mere hobby; this was a dissection. Next came the graver, its blade catching the light as the human meticulously scraped away infinitesimal bits of plastic from the wound site. I watched, mesmerized, from the shadows. They were performing some strange, silent procedure, their movements deliberate and practiced. The files came out next, sanding the edges with a soft *shhh-shhh-shhh*, like a bizarre form of post-operative care. The most intense moment came with the tweezers. The human, breathing shallowly, used the delicate stainless steel pincers to pick up a head—no bigger than my claw—and attempted to affix it to a torso. I held my breath. The fate of this plastic homunculus hung in the balance. Would the human's unsteady hand betray them? Would the head tumble to the floor, becoming my prize? For a moment, it seemed so. The piece wobbled precariously. I tensed my haunches, ready to spring. But no, with a final, delicate push, the head clicked into place. A low sigh of relief escaped the human. I observed this grim pantomime for what felt like an eternity. Amputations, attachments, polishing... it was a grotesque and fascinating ballet of creation through destruction. Finally, the human leaned back, placing the finished article on the desk. It was a miniature robot, stiff and lifeless. My initial horror curdled into disdain. All that effort, all that surgical precision, for *this*? A cold, unblinking idol that couldn't purr, couldn't demand treats, and certainly couldn't appreciate the luxurious softness of my fur. I approached the desk for a final inspection, leaping onto the chair for a better view. The robot smelled of nothing. It was a monument to wasted time. As I turned away in disgust, my gaze fell upon the floor. There, half-hidden under the desk, was a small, clipped piece of the plastic frame, a remnant of the "surgery." I nudged it with my nose. It skittered. I batted it with my paw. It shot across the hardwood. Ah. *Now* I understood. The entire elaborate, hours-long ritual was simply a method for producing this single, perfect, chaseable bit of debris. The tools were a bore, the robot a failure, but this forgotten scrap? This was a masterpiece. The human could keep their little doll; I had claimed the real treasure.

BXQINLENX Professional 8 PCS Model Tools Kit Modeler Basic Tools Craft Set Hobby Building Tools Kit for Gundam Car Model Building Repairing and Fixing(A)

By: BXQINLENX

Pete's Expert Summary

My human presented me with this... box. It is not a toy. It appears to be a collection of miniature torture devices for one of their bizarrely focused hobbies. Inside this clear, unimpressive BXQINLENX case are pliers for snipping, sharp blades for slicing, and metal pokers for, I assume, poking. While the human’s intent to build some plastic effigy is a complete waste of attention that could be better spent on me, I must admit a certain professional curiosity. The tiny plastic shavings that will inevitably result from this "crafting" could prove to be excellent skittering-prey across the hardwood floor, and the sturdy box, while tragically too small for a quality nap, might be useful for storing any such treasures I deign to collect.

Key Features

  • ● FUNCTION---EASY TO USE---The modeler basic tools set is suitable for a beginner and advanced modeler as well.You can use it to manufacture many toys,such as cars, robots, cartoon, buildings, airplanes and other crafts.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The Great Architect, my human, returned to the sanctum sanctorum (the living room) bearing a new artifact. It was a humble, transparent coffer, yet I sensed the potent energies contained within. He laid it upon the low altar before me, a clear offering for my approval. Through the plastic, I saw them: the Decimator of Sprues (pliers), the Twin Wands of Precise Seizure (tweezers), and the legendary Pen-Knife of a Thousand Edges. The Architect was preparing for a Summoning. The air grew still, thick with the scent of new plastic and impending obsession. He was going to build another one of his little gods. He began the ritual by laying out the enchanted components—plastic limbs and torsos still bound to their primordial frames. He selected the Decimator and, with a sharp *CRACK*, severed a piece of armor from its tether. The shard, a sliver of dark gray plastic, flew across the room and landed near my tail. A test. A tribute. Was it worthy? I watched it, unblinking, letting the Architect sweat. I gave a slow, deliberate blink. The offering was, for the moment, acceptable. He seemed to sigh in relief and continued his strange, silent work. I crept closer, a silent, furry overseer. My domain must be protected from such potent, clumsy magic. He fumbled with the Twin Wands, trying to apply a minuscule sticker to a plastic shield. The sticker clung to the metal, then to his finger, then to the table. Utter incompetence. With a sigh that ruffled my whiskers, I nudged his hand with my head, a clear gesture of "Allow me." Naturally, he did not understand. But as he struggled, he dropped another, larger piece of plastic scrap. This one had a delightful curve to it. I stalked it, my haunches wiggling, and with a final, glorious pounce, claimed it as my rightful tithe. The Summoning took hours, a tedious affair during which my food bowl was not once refilled. The final creation, a rigid, lifeless automaton, stood on the table, utterly devoid of personality or fluff. The Architect seemed pleased, but he had missed the point entirely. The true value of his "Professional 8 PCS Model Tools Kit" was not in the idol it created, but in the delightful, skittering, pounce-worthy refuse it produced. The tools were merely a means to an end, and that end was providing me with a superior class of floor toy. The ritual is approved, but only for the quality of its byproduct. He may continue, under my strict supervision.

Be Amazing! Toys Interactive Human Body - 60 Piece Fully Poseable Anatomy Figure – 14” Tall Model - Anatomy Kit – Removable Muscles, Organs,Bones STEM Toy – Ages 8+

By: Be Amazing! Toys

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has brought home a box of what appears to be spare parts for one of their own kind. It's a 14-inch tall, plastic biped that can be built and dismantled at will, revealing its bones, muscles, and curiously colored organs. I suppose there's a morbid curiosity in seeing the inner workings of the creature that controls the can opener, but the pieces themselves look large, slick, and unsatisfyingly hard. There’s no fur, no feather, no enticing string. The only potential for amusement lies in the sheer number of small parts that could be strategically batted into the dark abyss beneath the sofa, providing a brief but satisfying puzzle for my staff. Otherwise, it seems like an excellent way for the human to keep themselves occupied while I attend to more important matters, such as my fourth nap of the afternoon.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The pieces were spread across the living room rug, a ghastly tableau of pale plastic bones and rubbery, unnaturally vibrant organs. My human called it a "learning experience." I called it a desecration of a perfectly good sunbathing spot. As a being who has dedicated my life to the study of applied anatomy—specifically, the precise location of the warmest laps, the most scritchable chins, and the most vulnerable sleeping ankles—I found this crude model to be an affront to the elegant complexity of a living form. It was all sharp angles and cold, unyielding plastic, utterly devoid of the subtle, life-giving warmth I so cherish. I watched from the arm of the sofa, a silent, gray-furred proctor overseeing a fumbling student. The human consulted their colorful charts, struggling to attach a "pectoralis major" to a rib cage. My tail twitched in irritation. Such clumsy work. They didn't seem to appreciate the fine art of it all, the way muscle should subtly connect to bone, allowing for the fluid motion required to, for instance, open a can of tuna. I let out a low, guttural meow of critique. The human just smiled. "Isn't this neat, Pete?" they asked, completely missing the point of my masterclass in silent judgment. Once assembled, the plastic golem stood on its little stand, a hollow mockery of life. My human stepped away to answer a ringing phone, leaving their creation unattended. This was my moment. I hopped down silently, my paws making no sound on the wood floor. I circled the figure, sniffing its plastic feet. No scent. No soul. It was, as I suspected, a complete waste of space. But it offered an opportunity for a final, definitive lesson. I noted the small, lumpy piece they called the "pancreas," which was seated just loosely enough in the abdominal cavity. With the grace and precision of a seasoned predator, I rose onto my hind legs, placing a single, soft paw against the figure's chest. I didn't shove it. I didn't swipe at it. I simply *pushed*, gently but firmly, until its center of gravity shifted. The stand wobbled, and the plastic man tipped over with a clatter, its pieces scattering once more across the rug. The pancreas, my primary target, skittered perfectly under the radiator. Let the human learn. Anatomy isn't about assembling parts from a box; it's about understanding the delicate, beautiful chaos of a system. A system I had just expertly reintroduced to their little project.

Pete's Expert Summary

So, The Staff has presented me with this... "kit." It's from a brand called Rolife, and they seem to specialize in creating tedious projects for clumsy human hands. This particular one is a miniature greenhouse, a tiny, transparent prison for fake plants. The entire appeal for me, I surmise, would be during its construction. The process promises an endless supply of minuscule, exquisitely battable components, perfect for "helping" by relocating them to the dark voids beneath the furniture. Once assembled, however, it becomes a static, untouchable diorama. It's a tragic little glass box, too small for a respectable nap and filled with inedible foliage. A monument to look-but-don't-touch, which, as a philosophy, I find deeply offensive.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The project began, as most of The Staff's hobbies do, with a great deal of optimistic humming and the crinkle of plastic packaging. I observed from my perch on the back of the sofa, a gray and white shadow of judgment. For days, the coffee table was a disaster zone of tiny wooden frames, microscopic watering cans, and sheets of impossibly small printed flowers. My initial interest in batting these morsels of human endeavor waned as The Staff’s focus became a black hole, sucking in all light, attention, and potential ear scritches. I was being ignored for a tiny, pointless house. One evening, bored by the quiet snipping and gluing, I drifted off in a patch of moonlight filtering through the window. I awoke not on the sofa, but on a floor of cool, green tile. A scent of fresh paint and dry paper filled the air. Towering over me were colossal, ladder-backed chairs and a workbench cluttered with what looked like oversized gardening tools. And there, before me, stood the greenhouse. It was no longer miniature. Its transparent, pointed-arch roof soared stories high, a cathedral of crystal and white wood. The door was ajar. Driven by a curiosity that momentarily overrode my languor, I slipped inside. The world within was silent and strange. A jungle of perfectly formed, motionless plants surrounded me—ferns with unruffled fronds, roses in a state of permanent, waxy bloom. The air was still, holding no scent of damp earth or decaying leaves. I padded past a tiny easel holding an oil painting—now a vast, vibrant mural—and saw shelves filled with pots that were perfectly aligned, not a single one knocked over. It was a world of absolute, unyielding order. There were no crickets to chase, no spiders weaving messy webs, no clumsy human to trip. It was beautiful, I suppose, in the way a photograph is beautiful: flat, lifeless, and utterly devoid of opportunity. This perfect world was a prison of perfection. There was no joy here, no thrill of a sudden pounce, no satisfaction of a well-earned nap in a chaotic sunbeam cluttered with dust motes. I felt a profound longing for the delightful imperfection of my own life. I turned and fled the silent greenhouse, a yawn building in my chest. My eyes blinked open. I was back on the sofa. The moonbeam was warm on my fur, and The Staff was finally packing away the tiny tools. The finished greenhouse sat on the mantle, a pretty, insignificant bauble. I stretched, hopped down, and wound myself around The Staff's legs, demanding the attention I was owed. The tiny house could keep its sterile perfection; I had a real world to lord over.
