Pete's Expert Summary

My human has acquired a plastic contraption from a brand called "Toysmith," a name which I find deeply ironic as they clearly smith only toys, not anything of actual use. This device, a "Multi Voice Changer," is designed to warp and amplify their already perplexing vocalizations. It boasts an array of flashing lights and various levers, which I presume are for fine-tuning the level of auditory assault. The lights might hold a brief fascination, akin to a particularly slow and colorful insect, but its primary function appears to be generating noise pollution. I suspect this is a direct and calculated attack on the sanctity of my napping schedule and a colossal waste of a 9-volt battery that could be powering a laser dot generator for at least an entire afternoon.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The intrusion began during what I call Second Morning Loaf, that perfect state of post-breakfast restfulness on the sun-warmed rug. The Human entered holding a garish piece of plastic, the color of an unripe banana. It was clunky, with levers and a grille that looked vaguely hostile. I gave it a dismissive tail-twitch and closed my eyes, only to have them blasted open by a sound that was both familiar and utterly alien. My human’s mouth was moving, but the voice that boomed out was a low, guttural growl, as if a badger had learned basic English and was demanding tribute. The plastic thing in their hand flashed with frantic red lights, pulsing with the demonic cadence. My first thought was possession. My simple, food-providing Human had finally been inhabited by a minor spirit of the underworld. I watched, a silent, gray-furred observer, as they fiddled with a lever on the side of the banana-colored artifact. The guttural demon voice was suddenly replaced by the high-pitched squeak of a droid that had inhaled helium. "Pete, my fuzzy little man!" it chirped, the sound waves vibrating unpleasantly through my whiskers. The flashing lights changed to a pulsating blue. This wasn't one spirit; my Human had become a vessel, a chaotic spiritual train station for any wandering entity with a message. I decided to investigate this so-called "oracle." I rose, stretched with performative elegance, and sauntered over. As I approached, the Human switched the settings again, and now their voice was my own, but echoed and amplified, a terrifying parody of my usually refined meows. A robot-cat from a dystopian future. "Meow... Meow... Can... You... Hear... Meow?" it boomed. This was an insult. A mockery of my language. I stared directly at the Human, bypassing the plastic intermediary, and let out a single, sharp, interrogative "Mrow?" The only response was a cackle, distorted through a new "monster" effect. The device itself was an abomination, a tool of chaos. But then, a thought percolated through my annoyance. The Human was completely enthralled by it, a puppet to its flashing lights and silly noises. While they were distracted, chattering to me in a robot voice, I walked silently to the kitchen counter, leaped up with practiced grace, and nudged the bag of salmon treats ever so slightly towards the edge. The robot voice faltered. "Hey! Get down from there!" it commanded, but the tone was laced with amusement, not authority. I nudged the bag again. It fell. The resulting clatter was far more satisfying than any noise the plastic toy could make. The verdict was in: the noisemaker is a worthless piece of junk, but as a high-level distraction tool for enabling snack theft? It's a masterpiece of engineering. It has its uses.
