Pete's Expert Summary
My human has procured another small, plastic homunculus, this one named "Keltie" from a brand called "Glitter Girls." Apparently, its purpose is to just stand there, silently judging my nap schedule with its disturbingly unblinking brown eyes and a smile that never falters. The poseable limbs suggest it might be satisfying to knock over from various perches, and its synthetic wavy hair could, theoretically, provide a moment's distraction if I were truly desperate. However, the "glitter" aspect is a serious concern for my immaculate gray and white fur, and I suspect its primary function will be to occupy a corner of the room until it gathers a respectable layer of dust. It seems like a significant investment for what is, essentially, a pre-decorated scratching post I'm not allowed to scratch.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The new arrival was placed on the low table in the living room, a space I generally consider to be my personal causeway between the sofa and the window. This "Keltie" character, with her stiff, wavy hair and a gaze that seemed to pierce the veil of reality, became an immediate and unwelcome fixture. The human would chatter at it, moving its arms and legs, demonstrating its ability to sit or stand. An automaton. A spy. I watched from the arm of the chair, my tail twitching a rhythm of pure disdain. Her sparkly outfit was an affront to good taste, a cheap imitation of the glint in my own superior eyes. For two days, we were locked in a silent cold war. I would stare at her; she would stare back, her plastic smile a mask of unsettling cheerfulness. I refused to grant her the dignity of a direct approach. Instead, I began a campaign of subtle psychological warfare. I would nap with my back turned pointedly toward her. I would meticulously groom my pristine tuxedo markings directly in her line of sight, a clear display of natural, glitter-free perfection. I would practice my silent pounce on a dust bunny just inches from her garish pink boots, a warning of the fate that could befall her. Still, she stood, unmoved, a monument to my human's questionable judgment. The breakthrough came on the third night. A storm raged outside, and a flicker of lightning cast the room in stark, momentary relief. In that flash, I saw her not as a toy, but as a fellow captive. She hadn't asked to be here, trapped in this house, subject to the whims of a giant who dresses her in nonsensical outfits. She was a silent witness, just as I was, to the strange rituals of human existence. In a moment of what I can only describe as profound, storm-induced pity, I leaped onto the table. I did not bat her over. I simply nudged her with my head, a gesture of solidarity between prisoners. She tilted, her poseable legs giving way, and fell softly onto her back. I laid down beside her, my soft gray fur a stark contrast to her hard, plastic form. Her unblinking eyes now stared at the ceiling, contemplating the same vast emptiness I often did. The human found us like that in the morning, chattering about how cute it was that I had a "new friend." They missed the point entirely, of course. She wasn't a friend. She was the first successful recruit in my silent resistance. The Keltie doll is not a toy; she is an ally, a symbol of our shared, elegant confinement. She is worthy.
