Pete's Expert Summary
My Human has presented me with this… thing. It is supposedly a “cow” from the GUND brand, which at least signals a certain baseline of quality, unlike the flimsy feathered sticks that disintegrate after a single, spirited bunny-kick. This creature is an affront to nature with its cream and navy-blue hide, but the construction appears solid. The key features, from my perspective, are its "floppy limbs" and "slightly under-stuffed body," which suggest it might be a worthy opponent for a proper wrestling match. Its purpose as a "cuddly friend" for human infants is, of course, beneath my notice. Its true value will be determined by how well it stands up to a full-claws assault and whether its rippled fur makes a satisfactory pillow after it has been thoroughly vanquished.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The new subject arrived in a crinkling bag, an undignified vessel for what The Human clearly considered a prize. It was placed on my favorite rug—the one that catches the afternoon sun just so—and I was immediately offended. An intruder. It took the form of some lumpy, misshapen beast of the field, but its colors were all wrong. A cow this may be to a simple-minded human, but to me, it was a silent, blue-splotched monolith challenging my authority over this sunbeam. It smelled of nothing, a sterile void that I would have to correct by rubbing my face all over it later, assuming it survived the initial interrogation. I began the ritual, circling it at a safe distance. Its limbs were limp, pathetic. Its horns, a velvety beige, posed no threat. It sat there, placid and under-stuffed, an open invitation to violence. I extended a single, perfect gray paw and gave a tentative pat to its flank. The fur was peculiar, a series of soft ripples that felt interesting against my pads. This was unexpected. A lesser cat might have been charmed, but I am not a lesser cat. This texture was merely a new variable in the combat equation. I flattened my ears and gave a low growl, mostly for dramatic effect. The cow, unsurprisingly, did not respond. The time for subtlety was over. I launched myself at the creature, sinking my teeth into the space where a neck should be. It was then that I understood its true genius. The soft, yielding plush and the slight lack of stuffing created the perfect amount of resistance. It was substantial enough to feel like a real struggle, yet forgiving enough to not harm my magnificent jawline. I fell to my side, wrapping all four paws around its torso, and unleashed a torrent of hind-leg kicks. Thump-thump-thump went my feet against its soft, rippled body. It was a glorious, one-sided battle, a testament to my power and prowess. After a full minute of simulated murder, I ceased my assault, panting lightly with the thrill of victory. The cow lay on its side, utterly defeated. I stood over it, the conqueror surveying my prize. It was, I decided, a worthy adversary. Not for its strength or cunning, but for its impeccable design as a recipient of my predatory instincts. I gave its navy-blue ear a proprietary lick, then curled up against its vanquished form. Its soft, under-stuffed body made an excellent pillow, far superior to the decorative cushions The Human prefers. This GUND creature had passed the test. It was not a friend; it was a high-quality, comfortable trophy.
