Pete's Expert Summary
My human has procured another box of stiff, flat paper rectangles. From my observations, the ritual involves them gathering around a table, staring intently at photographs of lesser beings (dogs, squirrels, even other humans, none of whom possess my elegant gray tuxedo coat), and then trying to pair them with printed phrases. The objective, it seems, is to make one designated human, the "judge," exhale air sharply from their nose in a display they call "laughter." While the cards themselves are an insult to a creature of my refined tastes—offering neither a satisfying pounce nor a thrilling chase—the ensuing social chaos is a delicacy. The subtle shifts in power, the desperate attempts at wit, and the inevitable arguments provide a far richer spectacle than watching pigeons through the glass. The box, once emptied of its disappointing contents, might also serve as a passable, if slightly cramped, nap fortress.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The operation began under the sterile glare of the living room lamp. My human, whom I'll refer to as The Handler, slid open the primary container, revealing two stacks of dossiers. One contained images—surveillance photos of potential targets. The other held coded phrases—mission parameters. They called it a "game," a laughably transparent piece of counter-intelligence to disguise their true purpose. I settled into my observation post beneath the armchair, my white bib and paws melting into the shadows, and prepared to monitor the situation. The first target was displayed: a photograph of a rather flustered-looking dog in a small, festive hat. The agents—The Handler, her mate, and the two smaller operatives—each selected a card from their hand and placed it face down. The designated "judge" for this round, clearly the mission commander, reviewed the submissions. The winning phrase was: "Trying to look busy when the boss walks by." My ears swiveled forward. The "boss," obviously, was me. And the "dog" was a clear metaphor for their own clumsy attempts to appear productive while I am conducting my daily patrols. They were communicating about my surveillance patterns. As the rounds progressed, the conspiracy deepened. A picture of a toddler with a face full of spaghetti was paired with the caption, "I am never going to financially recover from this." A clear reference to the exorbitant cost of my salmon pâté. They were discussing budgetary concerns right in front of me! Another, featuring a serene cat, was matched with "Me, ignoring all my responsibilities." An outright character assassination! They were using these cards not for amusement, but to air their grievances and coordinate their plots in a cipher of shared cultural references. The evening concluded with boisterous shouts, a classic diversion. But I was not fooled. This was no toy; it was a complex system for planning household espionage. Its playability is zero, but its strategic importance is off the charts. My verdict is that this "game" is a clear and present danger to my authority and lifestyle. It must be neutralized. Later tonight, under the cover of darkness, I will surgically remove a few key cards—the one depicting the vacuum cleaner is a high-priority target—and deposit them into the un-reclaimable void beneath the heaviest bookcase. The house is safe for now, but one must always remain vigilant.
