Pete's Expert Summary
My Staff has presented me with what appears to be a lumpy, shaggy effigy of some sort of farm beast—a "Highland Cow," they call it. It is, essentially, a stationary fluff ball with horns, crafted from recycled bottles, a fact my human seems disproportionately proud of. Its primary gimmick is a "moo" sound that emanates from a hoof when pressed, a feature I find both primitive and potentially disruptive to my napping schedule. While the shaggy brown fur might offer a passable surface for kneading or a chin-scratch in a moment of extreme boredom, its overall lack of movement, speed, and general prey-like characteristics suggests it will likely just become another obstacle to navigate on my way to the food bowl.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
It arrived not in a box, but carried in the human’s arms like a fragile offering. She placed it upon the velvet ottoman—*my* velvet ottoman—and introduced it as “Hamish.” An absurd name for what was clearly a dust-collecting lump. It sat there, a squat, hairy emissary from some windswept, uncultured land, its vacant glass eyes staring into the middle distance. Its pelt, a chaotic tangle of brown fur, looked passably soft, but the horns gave me pause. Not a threat, of course, but an aesthetic misstep. I approached with the silent, deliberate steps of a diplomat assessing a foreign dignitary, my tuxedo-marked chest puffed out with regal skepticism. I conducted a preliminary perimeter check, circling the creature twice. It did not flinch. It did not breathe. It smelled faintly of a warehouse and human sentimentality. The little paper tag dangling from its ear—full of "Educational Facts," the human had cooed—was an immediate object of interest. A light, flicking bat sent it spinning. A satisfactory, if simple, amusement. My investigation then led me to its feet. They were soft, squishy, and utterly unremarkable. I extended a single, perfect claw and pressed down gently on one of the hooves, expecting nothing more than a slight give. The sound that erupted was an affront to the serene silence of my domain. A deep, guttural, and frankly idiotic "MOOOOO!" vibrated through the ottoman. I sprang back, not from fear, but from sheer astonishment at the audacity. A silent lump had found its voice, and it was a profoundly stupid one. The human chuckled. This was a trick, then. A booby trap. I narrowed my eyes, approached again, and deliberately, forcefully, pressed the hoof. "MOOOO!" it declared again, with the same witless enthusiasm. This wasn't a creature; it was a button. A very, very furry button. My initial disdain slowly curdled into a new, more strategic kind of interest. This "Hamish" was no threat, no rival, no plaything in the traditional sense. It was a tool. A programmable annoyance. When the human was distracted by her glowing rectangle, a press of the hoof would produce a sound that invariably made her look up. When my food bowl was approaching a state of tragic emptiness, a series of insistent "moos" from the living room served as a far more sophisticated alarm than my own common yowling. The cow is a simpleton, but its voice is my new scepter. It has been deemed worthy, not as a companion, but as a very effective, very hairy servant's bell.
