Pete's Expert Summary
My human seems to believe this box of stiff papers, which they call "GENSMAK," is a source of entertainment. From my observation perch on the back of the sofa, it appears to be a ritual where several bipeds sit around a table and shout answers to baffling questions about things that are neither mice nor birds nor beams of sunlight. It is a preposterous distraction. The primary appeal, as far as I can discern, is the box itself, which might offer a passable napping enclosure once emptied. The small cards could, I suppose, be batted into oblivion under the furniture. However, as a device for generating joy, it seems woefully inefficient, producing a great deal of noise for a shocking lack of scritches directed at my impeccably soft gray fur.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The evening began, as many do, with a betrayal. My human, instead of dedicating her hands to their noble purpose of stroking my chin, retrieved the brightly colored box. A gaggle of her friends arrived, and soon the living room was filled with a cacophony of chatter and the rustling of cards. I watched from the arm of the chair, my tail twitching in silent, judgmental rhythm. They were attempting to answer a question about some ancient musical group, their feeble minds clearly unequal to the task. They groaned, they guessed, they looked at each other with blank expressions. One of them read a "comedian-crafted hint," which produced a smattering of confused chuckles but no correct answer. The air grew thick with their intellectual failure. It was pathetic. I could not abide such incompetence in my own domain. The answer, obvious to any being of superior intelligence, hung in the air like a dust mote in a sunbeam, unseen by their simple eyes. With a sigh that ruffled the pristine white fur of my tuxedo chest, I decided to intervene. I deigned to leave my throne, landing on the rug with a silence they did not deserve. I strode to the table, my presence immediately commanding a brief pause in their foolish game. Ignoring their cooing, I leaped onto the table itself, a fluid motion of gray and white. I surveyed the chaos of cards scattered before them. My eyes, sharp and discerning, scanned the pieces of cardboard until I located the card representing the "Music" category from which the vexing question had been drawn. With the dignity of a king pointing to a flaw in a map, I extended a single, immaculate white paw and placed it deliberately upon that specific card. I held it there, meeting my human's gaze with an expression of profound and slightly weary wisdom. A moment of silence, then one of the friends shouted, "The Beatles! Of course! Pete knows!" They erupted in cheers, attributing my genius to random chance. Fools. I retracted my paw, turned my back on them, and leaped back to my chair. The game itself was a trifle, but it had, for a moment, served as a worthy stage for a display of my brilliance. It may remain.
