Pete's Expert Summary
So, the Human has acquired a stack of... flat paper rectangles. They call them "Pokémon Cards." Apparently, these static images of cartoonish beasts are a source of great excitement for their species. From my perspective, they are glorified coasters. They don't squeak, they don't roll, and their primary function seems to be lying inertly on a surface. However, I must concede a sliver of interest. Some of them are described as "Foil" and "Holo," which suggests they possess a certain shimmer. A well-aimed paw could send a shiny one skittering across the hardwood floor, which might briefly distract me from a particularly demanding sunbeam. It's a low-probability-of-amusement situation, but not a complete write-off.
Key Features

- 5 Holos Guaranteed minimium per order

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The ceremony began shortly after the crinkling of the strange plastic wrapper ceased. I observed from my post on the back of the sofa, a gray and white king surveying his domain. The Human sat cross-legged on the floor, carefully laying out the colorful squares in rows. They called it "opening a pack," but it looked more like a bizarre form of fortune-telling. Each card was presented to me with a reverent whisper. "Look, Pete, a Squirtle!" A small, blue thing. I gave a dismissive ear flick. "Ooh, a Growlithe!" A striped, orange canine-adjacent creature. I began a meticulous cleaning of my left shoulder, utterly unimpressed. These were commoners, peasants of the paper realm, unworthy of my notice. Then, the Human's tone shifted. "Now for the foils, Pete!" they chirped, and the light from the window suddenly fractured. The next card they held aloft did not simply sit there; it danced. It captured the sunbeam I had so recently abandoned and threw it back in a cascade of shattered rainbows. The creature on it was irrelevant. The *surface* was what mattered. It was a liquid gleam, a captured star. My tail, which had been dormant, gave a single, authoritative thump against the cushion. This... this was an offering of a higher caliber. The subsequent four foils were met with the same regal, focused attention. Finally, the Human drew the last card from a protective sleeve with the care of a jeweler handling a crown. "It's the VMax card!" they gasped. This one was different. It had texture. The light didn't just reflect off it; it seemed to be absorbed into the dark, dramatic artwork and then radiate outwards with a commanding presence. It felt... significant. I rose, stretched with the languid grace of my ancestors, and hopped silently to the floor. I approached the array of cards, stepping delicately around the dull, common ones. My path was clear. I walked directly to the VMax card, lowered my head, and gave it one, deliberate sniff. It smelled of ink and importance. Then, I gently tapped its edge with a single, extended claw—a knight's dubbing. The ritual was complete. The others were mere kindling, but this one, this shimmering, textured tribute, had proven its worth. It could remain. For now. I turned and sauntered off toward the food bowl, leaving my Human to bask in the glow of my approval.
