Pete's Expert Summary
My human has brought home what appears to be a silent, non-functional, miniature human. They call it a "Lifelike Reborn Baby Doll," which is a fancy way of saying it's a meticulously crafted lump. Its primary features, from my perspective, are its size and weight. While the hand-painted details are an absurd waste of effort on an object that cannot appreciate them, the soft, weighted cotton body presents a certain strategic value. It could, theoretically, serve as a superior napping bolster, one that won't squirm or complain if I knead it. The perpetually sleeping face is a major plus, as it won't be staring at me, but the cold vinyl limbs are a distinct drawback. Ultimately, its worth will be determined by its ability to hold heat in a sunbeam and its utility as a pillow, not by the useless plastic bottle and pacifier it came with.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The insult arrived in a cardboard box. My human made cooing sounds usually reserved for me after I’ve done something particularly charming, like not knocking over their water glass. From within the tissue paper prison, she lifted the Changeling. It was a small human effigy, limp and unnervingly still, smelling of sterile plastic and a faint, sweet scent that was entirely artificial. The worst part? She placed it squarely in the middle of the velvet armchair, the one that catches the late afternoon sun just so. My armchair. This was not an introduction; it was a declaration of war. I conducted my reconnaissance mission under the guise of casual indifference. A slow, deliberate stretch, followed by a meandering path that just happened to lead me to the base of the chair. I leaped up, landing with a soft thud beside the intruder. It didn't so much as twitch. I gave it a thorough sniffing. The vinyl feet were cold and plasticky. The painted-on hair was an artistic folly. The eyelashes, which the human had pointed out with glee, were suspiciously perfect. I extended a single, sharp claw and gently pricked its soft-looking torso. It yielded with a faint whisper of cotton. Pathetic. It was an unworthy adversary, a silent usurper of prime real estate. But the smell… that sterile factory scent was an offense to my finely tuned senses. It had to be corrected. The only way to neutralize a foreign scent is to overwhelm it with a superior one: my own. I began the ritual, rubbing my cheek glands firmly against its plush, clothed midsection. The fabric was soft, and to my surprise, the body beneath it had a pleasant give. It wasn't rigid like a table leg or too soft like a cheap cushion. It had a certain heft, a density that absorbed the pressure of my advance. I was supposed to be marking my territory, but I found myself lingering. I pressed my whole body against its side, intending to thoroughly contaminate it with my magnificent gray fur. But as I did, I noticed something remarkable. The weighted nature of the Changeling made it a stable and comforting presence. It was like leaning against another warm body, but one that had the good sense to remain completely still and silent. Its perpetual slumber meant it would never try to pet me the wrong way or make sudden, alarming noises. The sunbeam shifted, blanketing us both in golden warmth. My mission of olfactory conquest had become one of unexpected comfort. A low, rumbling purr vibrated from my chest, a sound of both victory and contentment. The human saw us and let out a delighted gasp. I ignored her, of course. This was not an act of friendship. I had not "snuggled" the doll. I had strategically annexed it. It was no longer an intruder, but a permanent, pre-warmed, perfectly weighted addition to my collection of high-quality sleeping surfaces. The Changeling was utterly useless as a toy, but as a piece of luxury furniture, it had proven its worth.
