Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in a fit of what they surely believe is "enrichment" for their small, loud offspring, has acquired a box of plastic fragments. The premise seems to be that one can assemble these bits into various twitching simulacra of life—a dog, a crab, a beetle—powered by the sun's grace. To me, this is not an educational tool; it's a DIY prey-creation kit. The appeal is obvious: a moving target that requires no tiresome string-wiggling from my staff. The potential drawback is the excruciatingly long and tedious assembly process I will be forced to witness, not to mention the high probability that the final creation will just lie there, a pathetic monument to my human's failed engineering ambitions, unless bathed in the most direct and potent of sunbeams.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
I had been watching the ritual for two days. It was a clumsy, frustrating affair. The large human would hunch over the low table, surrounded by pictograms and a constellation of tiny, gleaming plastic parts. Curses were muttered. Pieces were dropped, and I, in my divine wisdom, would occasionally secure one with a gentle tap, sending it skittering into the dark abyss beneath the sofa for later study. The human called this project "bonding," but I recognized it for what it was: the clumsy construction of an idol. According to the sacred texts on the box, this particular idol was to be a "Running Beetle." Finally, the rite was complete. The human placed the plastic effigy on the rug. It was a pitiful thing, all sharp angles and lifeless limbs. It did nothing. The human sighed, the sound of defeated expectation. But I, a creature more attuned to the subtle energies of the world, knew the incantation was incomplete. I rose, stretched my magnificent gray form, and led the way to the western window, where the afternoon sun blazed, casting a perfect, warm rectangle upon the hardwood floor. My meaning was clear, conveyed with a single, imperious glance over my shoulder. My human, sometimes surprisingly quick for their species, understood. The beetle was placed within the sacred geometry of the light. For a moment, there was only a reverent silence. Then, a faint whirring, a sound like a captured fly buzzing with impotent rage. A leg twitched. Another. The solar panel on its back drank in the light, and the creature shuddered to life. It began to scuttle forward, a jerky, determined march across the floor. It was an affront to nature, a mockery of a living thing, and it was utterly, completely, gloriously fascinating. My attack was not one of rage, but of scientific inquiry. A single, perfectly executed pounce, paws soft, claws sheathed. The beetle tumbled, its legs whirring uselessly at the ceiling. The plastic shell felt solid, not the cheap, brittle sort I've come to expect. The human righted it, and once more it began its sun-powered pilgrimage. It was predictable, yes. It was soulless, absolutely. But it moved on its own, a tiny, persistent automaton whose sole purpose was to march until a shadow fell upon it. It was a worthy distraction, a puzzle of light and motion. My verdict: an acceptable tribute. Now, I must see about the "Zombie Chaser" configuration. That sounds like a promotion.
