Pete's Toy Box: Barney

Collectibles Barney Classic Bedding Super Soft Cozy Decorative Pillow, (Officially Licensed Product) By Franco

By: Franco

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a fit of what I can only assume was a nostalgia-induced fever dream, has brought a large, purple effigy into my domain. According to the packaging, it is a "Barney Cuddle Pillow" from a company named Franco. Its purported purpose is to serve as a decorative and "cuddly" object for bipedal young and the adults who miss being them. From my superior vantage point, I see a potential high-quality napping dais. The advertised "velvety texture" and "soft plush quality" are, I admit, compelling arguments in its favor. However, its garish coloration and fixed, vacuous grin are an affront to the minimalist decor I strive to maintain. Furthermore, its "spot clean only" nature is a logistical nightmare waiting to happen. It may be a worthy bed, but I will have to overcome the sheer indignity of sleeping on a smiling lizard.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It arrived in a clear plastic shroud, a silent, purple scream trapped in polymer. The human called it "Barney" and placed it on the bed with a reverence usually reserved for me. I watched from the doorway, tail twitching in silent judgment. It was an idol of some forgotten, saccharine cult. Its eyes were wide and vapid, its smile a painted-on rictus of joy that knew nothing of the complex world of sunbeam-chasing and strategic vomiting. It was an intruder, a plush monolith occupying prime territory that was, by all rights, mine. For the first day, we were locked in a cold war. I refused to approach it, instead choosing to nap pointedly on the human's inferior wool blanket, occasionally glaring at the purple monstrosity to let it know it was not welcome. My human seemed disappointed by my refusal to engage. "Don't you like him, Pete? He's so soft!" she cooed, patting its bulbous, green stomach. Soft? I was the arbiter of soft. I am a walking cloud of gray and white perfection. This thing was a synthetic pretender. Yet, her words planted a seed of professional curiosity. In the dead of night, when the house was still and the only light was the glow from the cursed digital clock, I launched my reconnaissance mission. I crept onto the bed, silent as a shadow, and approached the creature's flank. Its purple fur, under my sensitive whiskers, did indeed possess a uniquely dense, velvety pile. It was different from my own, of course—lesser, but intriguing. With the caution of a bomb disposal expert, I extended a single paw and pressed gently into its side. The give was perfect. A slow, luxurious depression that didn't bounce back too quickly. This was no cheap, carnival-prize stuffing; this was quality foam with character. I tested another spot, then another. My investigation led me to its prominent green belly, a vast, welcoming expanse. The allure was too great. The tactical advantage of its slight elevation and superior texture outweighed my aesthetic objections to its foolish grin. With a sigh that was equal parts resignation and anticipation, I leaped aboard. I circled three times, a ritual of conquest, before collapsing onto its plush abdomen. The fool didn't even flinch. I began to knead, my claws sinking rhythmically into the yielding green fabric, not out of comfort, but to mark my ownership. A low, rumbling purr vibrated through my chest—a sound of victory. This purple simpleton was no friend, no companion. It was furniture. And as of tonight, it was my new, exceptionally comfortable, and utterly ridiculous throne. It could stay.

Worlds Smallest Barney Mini-Sized Purple Dinosaur Plush

By: World's Smallest

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has procured another bauble, this one a miniature effigy of some purple creature from their lore, apparently named "Barney." The brand, "World's Smallest," is an intriguing one, suggesting a focus on prey of a manageable, and therefore dignified, size. At a mere 3.5 inches, this plush morsel is appropriately proportioned for batting, carrying, and eventually losing under the credenza. Its purported "cuddly" nature may offer a satisfactory mouthfeel. However, its classification as a "collector's item" for human children is concerning. This implies its intended purpose is to sit on a shelf, a fate worse than the vacuum cleaner. I am skeptical; it could be a worthy adversary for a post-nap skirmish, or it could simply be another piece of colorful fluff designed to insult my predatory intelligence.

Key Features

  • World’s Smallest Barney is the mini-sized plush companion that brings the magic of everyone's favorite purple dinosaur right to your fingertips
  • Measuring 3.5 inches tall, Barney is compact, cuddly, and bursting with charm. it’s a delightful addition to any Barney lover's collection!
  • Includes: 1 Plush Barney
  • The perfect Easter basket stuffer, stocking stuffer, party favor, and more!
  • Fun for all ages. Recommended for ages 6 and up.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It was not presented to me as tribute, which was the first offense. I watched from my observation post on the velvet armchair as the Human unboxed the tiny creature and, with a chuckle of nostalgic foolishness, placed it on the mantelpiece. It sat there, nestled between a picture frame and a dusty ceramic bird, its fixed, vapid smile mocking the natural order of my kingdom. A "collectible," the Human called it. A decoration. An object to be looked at, not hunted. The sheer audacity of it. My tail gave a single, sharp twitch. The mantel was a challenge, a fortress, and this purple interloper was the treasure locked within. The planning phase took the better part of an hour, a quiet storm of calculation behind my half-lidded eyes. I mapped the route: a silent leap from the floor to the arm of the sofa, a delicate bridge-crossing via the stiffened edge of a throw blanket to the bookshelf, and then the final, audacious spring across a two-foot chasm to the mantel itself. It was a mission requiring grace, precision, and a complete disregard for the Human's arbitrary rules about "climbing on the furniture." I stretched, extending each claw deliberately, a silent vow that this slight would not stand. Under the cloak of the evening's dimming light, while the Human was mesmerized by their glowing screen, I initiated the operation. I was a whisper of gray fur, a phantom ascending the chosen path. The throw blanket barely trembled under my weight. The bookshelf was a simple ladder. Pausing on a thick volume of human history—a subject I find dreadfully boring—I measured the final jump. A flick of my ears, a twitch of my haunches, and I soared. I landed with the soft *thump* of a master, not a single knick-knack disturbed. The purple hostage was before me. I snatched it in my jaws. The plush texture was surprisingly satisfying, yielding just enough to feel like a worthy catch. Its small size was perfect, a delightful mouthful. Leaping down with my prize, I trotted to the center of the rug to assess my spoils. The little dinosaur's smile seemed less smug now, more a look of stunned defeat. I tossed it into the air, batted it with a flurry of paws, and pinned it with a triumphant growl. The Human may have bought it as a shelf-warmer, but I had revealed its true purpose. It was not a collectible; it was a conquest. A very fine, if absurdly colored, conquest indeed.

Funko Barney Pop! Retro Toys Complete Set (2)

By: Funko

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has once again squandered resources on what they call "collectibles." This time, it's a set of two stylized, oversized-headed effigies of some garish purple beast from their childhood myths, a so-called "Funko Pop!" of "Barney." They are imprisoned within clear-fronted cells, their sole purpose to be stared at, a concept utterly foreign and insulting to any creature of action. While the sharp corners of the packaging might offer a moment's satisfaction for a chin scratch, the figures themselves are inert plastic monuments to poor judgment. They possess zero pounce-ability, no tantalizing scent, and will undoubtedly just gather dust, a testament to the strange and unproductive hobbies of my bipedal staff.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony began, as it often does, with the human making cooing noises at a cardboard box. I watched from my perch on the sofa arm, tail giving a slow, judgmental thump-thump-thump against the upholstery. With far too much reverence, they slid two smaller boxes out, each containing a purple idol with a vacant, black-eyed stare. One held a smaller, yellow creature. The human placed them on the mantelpiece, a space usually reserved for things they wished to keep safe from my gravitational experiments. They called them "Barney" and "BJ," whispering the names like incantations. For days, I observed the new gods of the mantel. They did nothing. They did not wiggle, they did not flash, they did not emit the crinkling sound that signals a worthy opponent. Yet, my human would pause, gaze up at them, and smile. A strange, quiet cult had formed in my living room, and I, its true deity, was being ignored. Their power, I surmised, must be subtle. A psychic influence, perhaps? A low-frequency hum undetectable to my superior ears? I had to investigate. Under the silver light of a streetlamp filtering through the blinds, I made my move. A silent leap from the floor to the chair, then a tense, muscle-coiled spring to the mantelpiece itself. I landed without a sound, a gray ghost in the night. I approached the primary purple idol. I sniffed its plastic prison. Nothing. I gave the box a gentle nudge with my nose. It slid a millimeter. No divine retribution, no angry roar. I nudged it again, harder this time, pushing it right to the edge of the mantel. It teetered there, a silent challenge to the universe. And still, nothing. My verdict was clear. These were false idols, hollow and powerless. I yawned, hopped down, and returned to my nap, leaving the purple charlatan to contemplate its own precarious and utterly boring existence. It wasn't even worth the effort to knock over.

Funko Pop Vinyl: Barney - Baby Bop - Barney and Friends - Collectable Vinyl Figure - Gift Idea - Official Merchandise - Toys for Kids & Adults - Cartoon/Animation Fans - Model Figure for Collectors

By: Funko

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to believe my life lacks a certain amount of non-functional, plastic clutter. This new arrival, a "Funko Pop," is apparently a tiny effigy of some green creature named Baby Bop. It is small, made of what they call "durable vinyl," and has the same soulless, black-dot eyes as all the other trinkets from this brand. Its stated purpose is to sit on a desk or in a "display case," which is a frankly pathetic life goal for any object. While it offers no scent, no crinkle, and certainly no feathers, its compact, hard-plastic form and low center of gravity might, I concede, make it a superb puck for a game of midnight floor hockey. For now, it's just another silent, judgmental observer of my naps.

Key Features

  • IDEAL COLLECTIBLE SIZE - At approximately 3.75 inches (9.5 cm) tall, this vinyl mini figurine complements other collectable merchandise and fits perfectly in your display case or on your desk
  • PREMIUM VINYL MATERIAL - Made from quality, durable vinyl, this collectible is built to last and withstand daily wear, ensuring long-lasting enjoyment for fans and collectors alike
  • GIFT IDEA FOR BARNEY AND FRIENDS FANS - Ideal for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions and as a present this figurine is a must-have addition to any Barney and Friends merchandise collection

  • LEADING POP CULTURE BRAND - Trust in the expertise of Funko, the premier creator of pop culture merchandise that includes vinyl figures, action toys, plush, apparel, board games, and more

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The new thing arrived in one of those delightful cardboard boxes, which I immediately claimed. The human, however, was more interested in the contents. They extracted a small, green figurine and placed it on the mantelpiece, a sacred space usually reserved for framed pictures of themselves and, on one regrettable occasion, a sprig of holiday mistletoe. I observed it from the safety of the sofa. It was a stout, reptilian being with a vacant stare and a garish yellow bow perched on its head. An idol for a forgotten, tasteless god, I presumed. I yawned and dismissed it. The next afternoon, a peculiar event occurred. I was contemplating the physics of gravity by nudging a pen closer to the edge of the coffee table when the sun shifted. A brilliant, warm beam of light—my personal, reserved sunbeam—sliced through the window. But instead of landing in its usual spot on the rug, it struck the vinyl head of the green statue. The light refracted, scattering a perfect, impossibly warm patch of sun directly onto the plush cushion of my favorite armchair. It was as if the idol had commanded the sun itself for my benefit. I paused, my paw hovering over the pen. A coincidence, surely. But a highly convenient one. I decided to conduct an experiment. The following morning, as the human prepared to fill my food bowl, I saw them reaching for the mundane, dry kibble. A peasant's meal. I stared intently at the green figure on the mantel, projecting my deepest, most primal desire for the salmon pâté in the crinkly pouch. I narrowed my eyes, focusing all my psychic energy on the little vinyl oracle. Just as the human was about to pour, they hesitated. They looked from the bag of kibble to the cupboard, a flicker of inspiration on their face. They put the bag down and retrieved a pouch of the good stuff. My jaw, had it the correct musculature, would have dropped. The figurine was not a toy. It was not a "collectible." It was a conduit. A silent, powerful totem that bent the will of the universe—or at least the will of my easily suggestible human—to my favor. Its "durable vinyl material" was not for withstanding batting, but for containing its immense cosmic power. I no longer saw it as a potential floor hockey puck. I saw it as an ally. The human thinks they bought a cute piece of pop culture merchandise. What they actually did was install a silent, green god-king on my mantelpiece, and I, for one, am here to worship. It is absolutely worthy of its place in my kingdom.

By: KGNZUIZIU

Pete's Expert Summary

Honestly, must you wave this... *thing*... in my face? It's a collection of flimsy cardboard cutouts attached to crinkly paper balls, produced by a company whose name sounds like a sneeze, "KGNZUIZIU." You call this a toy? I call it pre-shredded garbage. The main figure is some sort of grotesque, purple lizard-bird with a fixed, unnerving smile. While I concede that the laminated cardstock might offer a moment's resistance to my claws, and the honeycomb paper structure promises a satisfyingly destructive *crunch*, these are ultimately just decorative clutter. Their only purpose is to be knocked off a table, briefly batted under a sofa, and then summarily ignored. It's a momentary distraction, but hardly a worthy investment of my considerable talents.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The invasion began without a sound. I was enjoying a sunbeam in the living room, deep in a meditative trance, when a shift in the air alerted me. I opened one eye. There, on the sacred plateau of the dining room table, stood the enemy: a legion of seven purple monstrosities, their paper honeycomb bodies gleaming under the lights. They were all identical in their vacant, cheerful expressions, a silent, smiling army that had taken my high ground. My human cooed something about a "party" and "decorations." I heard only a declaration of war. My approach was silent, a gray shadow flowing over the polished floor. I leaped onto a chair, the command post for my counter-offensive. From this vantage point, I could assess their weaknesses. The paper bodies were their core, delicate and fragile. The laminated faces were a form of armor, but I've shredded far more formidable foes, such as the mailman's trousers through the mail slot. The tallest one, a grinning giant holding a yellow star, seemed to be their leader. He had to be the first to fall. I waited for the human to be distracted by that glowing rectangle she's so fond of. That was my signal. With a burst of focused energy, I was on the table. The purple leader stood there, smiling, oblivious to his impending doom. I gave him a cursory sniff—he smelled of cardboard and defeat. I didn't pounce. That would be crude. Instead, I executed a precise tactical maneuver: a single, elegant swipe of my paw, aimed directly at the honeycomb base. The effect was glorious. The paper structure collapsed instantly with a sound like dry leaves being crushed, a symphony of destruction. The leader toppled sideways, its foolish grin now facing the ceiling in surrender. The other six stood motionless, their smiles now looking like expressions of pure terror. One by one, I dispatched them with surgical precision. A tap here, a shred there. One I nudged off the edge, watching its pathetic flutter to the floor below. My work was done in under a minute. The human gasped, but it was too late. My territory was secure. These "Barney" figures were no match for a true predator. They were not toys; they were training dummies, and for that brief, crunchy purpose, I suppose they served their function admirably. Now, if you'll excuse me, this victory has earned me a nap.

Funko Barney (Hug Time) + Pop Protector: Barney Retro Toys Pop! TV Vinyl Figure (Gift Set Bundled with ToyBop Brand Box Protector Collector Case - UV and Scratch-Resistant)

By: Funko

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has acquired another piece of shelf-clutter, this time a small, plastic effigy of a rather garish purple dinosaur trapped within a transparent prison. Apparently, this object, which they call a "collectible," is not for swatting, chewing, or even light batting. Its primary features are not its texture or scent, but the ridiculous second box it comes in—a "deluxe protector" meant to defend it from the ravages of sunlight and, presumably, my superior judgment. The appeal, from my perspective, is non-existent in the figure itself; it is a static, useless lump. The only point of interest is the smooth, hard-edged protective case, which might provide a decent surface for a satisfying cheek-rub, but the creature inside is a profound waste of my waking hours.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony was, as always, both solemn and absurd. My human, with the reverence usually reserved for the opening of a particularly pungent can of tuna, unveiled the box. From it, they extracted another box, and from *that*, a small, purple being with a smile that suggested a complete and total vacancy of thought. They then performed the final, baffling step: carefully enclosing the figure's box within yet another, even clearer and more rigid, transparent cube. This final product was then placed upon the great wooden plain they call a bookshelf, positioned like a sacred relic. I watched from the floor, my tail a slow, metronomic instrument of disdain. Later, under the cover of the afternoon sunbeam, I made my approach. A silent leap brought me to the shelf, face-to-face with the prisoner. Its name, I'd overheard, was "Barney," and it was perpetually trapped in "Hug Time." A chilling proposition. I peered through the dual layers of its plastic enclosure. The inner box showed cartoons and text, but it was the outer shell, the "ToyBop" brand protector, that held my attention. It was flawless. The edges were sharp, the surfaces pristine, reflecting the room with a cold, geometric perfection. This wasn't just a box; it was a statement of intent. It said, "This object is too important for the world... or for cats." I extended a single, well-manicured claw and gave the case a delicate *tap*. It emitted a solid, resonant *thump*, a sound of quality far exceeding the creature it contained. My initial cynicism began to shift. This was not about the purple thing at all. This was an interactive art installation. The creature was merely the bait. The true experience was in appreciating the lengths my human would go to preserve something so trivial. I pressed my cheek against the smooth, cool corner of the 0.5 mm PET plastic. It was magnificent. The perfect angle, the perfect texture for marking my territory upon this monument to human folly. As a toy, it is an insult to my predatory instincts. It does not move, it does not crinkle, it does not possess a single feather. It is, in essence, a failure. However, as a high-concept piece of art about the nature of value, and more critically, as a premier cheek-rubbing station, it has found its purpose in my kingdom. I will allow it to stay. Not for the smiling purple simpleton, but for its exquisitely crafted, scratch-resistant prison. It is unworthy of my play, but its case... its case is worthy of my face.

Barney Birthday Cake Topper Set with Barney and Friends and Decorative Themed Accessories (Unique Design)

By: Cake Toppers

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a baffling lapse of judgment that suggests a severe lack of sleep or an overabundance of questionable nostalgia, has presented me with what appear to be stationary, plastic effigies of a garish purple reptile and its entourage. I am told these are "cake toppers," destined to stand sentinel over a sugary confection before being unceremoniously discarded. They possess no discernible playability, no intriguing textures for batting, no rustle, and certainly no catnip. The warning about "small parts" is the only interesting thing about them, suggesting a level of danger they are far too boring to actually pose. This is not a toy; this is an insult to the very concept of interactive entertainment and a classic case of a human misunderstanding the sophisticated needs of a superior being.

Key Features

  • May Include Small Parts and Pieces - Not Intended for Small Children Under 13 Years of Age

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony was, to be frank, insulting. The Tall One placed them before me on the polished hardwood floor, a tribunal of plastic grotesqueries assembled for my judgment. There was the primary offender, a corpulent beast of lurid purple, its smile a painted rictus of forced joy. It reeked of the factory, a scent I associate with cheapness and disappointment. Flanking it were two smaller sycophants, one a sickly green and the other a jaundiced yellow, both equally immobile and vacant. They were presented as an offering, a tribute. I, Lord Pete of the Sun Puddle, First of My Name, was meant to be impressed. I circled them once, my tail giving a single, dismissive flick. My paws, pristine white spats on the dark wood, made no sound. I was a wraith, a silent arbiter. I lowered my head to the purple one, my whiskers brushing against its smooth, cold form. I inhaled deeply. No soul. No life. Not even the ghost of a mouse or the memory of a feather. It was a hollow idol. I extended a single, impeccably sharp claw—just the tip—and tapped its bulbous head. It responded with a pathetic *clack* as it tipped onto its side, utterly defeated without a fight. A king with no army, a jester with no wit. The smaller ones offered even less sport. I nudged the yellow one with my nose. It skidded away, a meaningless piece of debris caught in a phantom current. The green one I simply ignored, the ultimate act of feline condemnation. This was not a hunt, it was tidying up. One by one, with the detached air of an executioner, I batted the figures under the great velvet curtain that drapes near the floor. Banishment to the dust-bunny realm, a fitting end for such unworthy supplicants. The Tall One sighed, a sound of profound human disappointment. I met her gaze, held it, and gave her a long, slow blink. The highest honor. It was not for the "toys," of course. It was for me, for my swift and decisive restoration of order and good taste to my kingdom. My work here was done. I leaped onto my favorite armchair, turned my back on the scene of the purge, and began the important business of a post-judgment grooming session. Some beings are simply born to rule.

Barney (Barney & Friends) Pack Sticker Decal Size 5"

By: CED Designs

Pete's Expert Summary

My human presented me with this… item. It is not a toy. It is a flat, two-dimensional effigy of some sort of purple beast with a disturbingly cheerful expression. They prattled on about its "high-quality materials" and its ability to adhere to surfaces without bubbles, as if the aesthetics of its application matter to me. It has no feathers, no crinkle, no enticing scent of catnip, and it certainly doesn't skitter across the floor in a satisfying way. While its "vibrant colors" might momentarily catch my eye before a nap, its primary function seems to be sticking to things I enjoy sitting on, like the warm laptop. Ultimately, it is a pointless decoration, an insult to the very concept of "play," and a profound waste of my waking moments.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The shiny warming rectangle, my preferred napping spot for mid-morning, had been violated. My human, with the sort of misplaced pride they usually reserve for opening a can of the *good* tuna, peeled this purple monstrosity from its backing and smoothed it onto the lid. The creature’s vacant, green-spotted belly and fixed, saccharine grin stared up at the ceiling. I observed this desecration from the arm of the sofa, my tail giving a single, sharp flick of disapproval. This was not a gift. This was an invasion. I approached with caution, my gray tuxedo-clad form moving silently across the rug. I extended a single, perfect white paw and prodded the thing. It was unnervingly smooth, a seamless part of the machine now, just as the packaging promised. No bubbles, no edges for a discerning claw to find purchase. I sniffed it. Nothing. A sterile, vinyl scent that spoke of factories and human folly, not of prey or field or fun. It was an inert, silent guardian of my napping place. It did not flinch, it did not yield; its adhesive was, I deduced, as formidable as advertised. This was not a toy to be conquered. I understood then. This was a symbol, a cryptic message. The creature’s unblinking smile and its weather-resistant permanence were not features for my amusement; they were a declaration. My human was marking their territory in a way I found both primitive and insulting. I could not destroy it, and batting at it offered no satisfaction. Very well. Let the purple fool stand its silent, smiling watch. I turned my back on it, leapt gracefully onto the much softer, un-stickered cashmere throw on the chair, and began a bath. The sticker was unworthy of my aggression, but it had earned my eternal, simmering contempt. The warm rectangle could belong to the purple demon now. I would find superior sources of heat.

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has acquired a flat, two-dimensional effigy of some sort of purple beast with an insipid grin. They call it a 'sticker' and seem impressed by its ability to adhere to surfaces without bubbling, a concern that has literally never crossed my mind. Its purported purpose is to add 'personality' to things like the shiny metal box she taps on all day, or the clanging water vessel. While I suppose its smooth, non-crinkly surface might offer a moment's tactile curiosity, it possesses no scent, no movement, and no discernible play value. It is, in short, a silent, immobile, and utterly useless decoration, a profound waste of funds that could have been allocated to, say, a shipment of freeze-dried salmon.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony was brief and, frankly, insulting. The Human, humming a tune so saccharine it made my teeth ache, peeled the purple creature from its white backing and, with a series of smoothing motions, affixed it to the wall above her desk. A new god had been installed in the pantheon of the household, and I, the reigning deity, had not been consulted. It stared out into the room, its smile a permanent, placid fixture. It was an idol, clearly, meant for worship. The Human proved my theory by smiling back at it before she left the room. I felt a challenge rise in my throat. This territory was mine. I leaped onto the desk, my movements fluid and silent, and faced the usurper. "So," I meowed, a low and menacing sound. "You have come to stake a claim." The purple one offered no response, its painted eyes staring through me. I saw my own reflection in its glossy, "weather-resistant" finish—a handsome, superior gray tuxedo cat, the true master of this space. This thing was nothing but a smooth, flat imposter. I decided a show of force was in order. I extended a single, perfect claw and gently tapped its face. Nothing. No flinch, no retreat. The vinyl was strangely resilient. I tried a more direct approach, rubbing my cheek against its edge, marking it with my scent. This was my wall, my desk, my Human. The sticker, with its "strong adhesive," remained stubbornly in place, unyielding and unimpressed, its chemical scent a faint, sterile offense. It was like reasoning with a rock, only more purple. Finally, I understood. This was not a rival. A rival would have the decency to hiss back, to acknowledge my presence. This… this was merely a picture. A meaningless, silent symbol of the Human’s bizarre sentimentality. To continue my assault would be to dignify it, to grant it a status it did not deserve. With a dismissive flick of my tail, I turned away and leaped from the desk to my favorite velvet cushion. Let the false idol stare into the void. I had naps to attend to, a far more sacred and productive ritual. The sticker was not worthy of my scorn, let alone my attention.
