Pete's Expert Summary
My human has presented me with a box of tiny, brightly colored potions and frivolous accessories. Apparently, the small human variant intends to use this "Hello Kitty" kit to engage in the preposterous ritual of painting their blunt, ineffective claws. The kit contains twelve little bottles that smell aggressively of bubble gum, some insultingly flimsy scratching surfaces they call "files," and a wheel of shiny bits. While the primary function is clearly a waste of everyone's time, the collateral entertainment potential is moderate. The small, lightweight bottles are of an ideal size and weight for batting off a high surface, and the wheel of plastic gems is a prime target for theft and subsequent hiding under the heaviest piece of furniture. The "peel-off" feature is also intriguing, as it promises a secondary harvest of colorful flakes to chase across the hardwood floor. A mixed bag, but not entirely without merit.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The dame—my human—dropped the package on the rug like a hot tip from a desperate informant. The face on the box was a blank, white visage with a pink bow, a calling card I hadn't seen before. "Hello Kitty," it said. A new player in my territory. The air, usually a complex bouquet of sunbeam dust and my own magnificent scent, was suddenly corrupted by a sickly sweet smell. Bubble gum. I narrowed my eyes. This was no ordinary delivery. This was a message. She opened the box, revealing the gang inside. A lineup of twelve squat, colorful thugs stood shoulder-to-shoulder: a loudmouthed neon blue, a shifty pink, a gaudy orange. With them were their tools of the trade: a couple of cheap shivs they called "files" and a sheet of coded symbols the humans called "stickers." My human cooed, captivated by their garish display. Amateurs. I knew a distraction when I saw one. The real prize wasn't the foot soldiers in their little glass bottles. My gaze settled on the mastermind of the operation, sitting in plain sight. It was a plastic wheel, a carousel of counterfeit jewels glittering under the lamp light. It promised chaos. It promised the satisfying skittering sound it would make across the floor. This was the kind of thing that could start a turf war under the sofa. I began my approach, a silent gray shadow with a pristine white front. I executed the classic maneuver: the casual leg rub, the deceptive purr to lower her guard. She was distracted, admiring a particularly obnoxious shade of green. It was all the time I needed. A single, perfectly extended paw was all it took. Not to the bottles—let the help have their fun. I hooked a claw right into the center of the gem wheel and flicked. It popped from its plastic housing and tumbled onto the ottoman with a soft clatter. Before the human could react, a second flick sent it spinning across the hardwood, a glittering UFO in the afternoon sun. She retrieved it, of course, but the point was made. The nail polish was a juvenile diversion, but the gem wheel… the wheel had potential. This case was far from closed.
