Pete's Expert Summary
My human has acquired a collection of flimsy green rectangles they call "prop money." Apparently, these are for their bizarre social rituals and not, as one might hope, for lining my napping box. While the sheer quantity of 105 individual pieces presents a tantalizing opportunity for widespread household chaos and some light batting practice, the distinct lack of catnip, feathers, or any inherent crinkle factor suggests this is ultimately a low-effort offering. It might be amusing to shred a "Benjamin" or two, but it's likely just another distraction from what truly matters: my scheduled afternoon nap.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The offering was left on the coffee table, a perfect, crisp stack of human-scented paper. My human, in their infinite foolishness, was attempting to organize it for some "game night." I watched from my perch on the armchair, a gray and white shadow of judgment. This was not a toy. It had no jingle, no flutter, no scent of the sacred 'nip. It was flat, silent, and reeked of ink and hubris. An insult. I flicked an ear in disgust and turned my attention to the more pressing matter of licking a stray bit of fur on my shoulder. Hours later, the house was silent. A sliver of moonlight cut across the living room, illuminating the abandoned stack. My curiosity, that wretched, persistent traitor, began to stir. I padded silently across the rug, my paws making no sound. I didn't pounce. I was not some common alley brute. I approached it as a scholar approaches a new text. With a single, impeccably sharp claw, I delicately hooked the edge of the top bill—a $100 note. It was flimsy, a pale imitation of the sturdy cardboard my food deliveries arrive in. I nudged it with my nose. Nothing. I batted it. It skittered across the wood floor, a pathetic, silent flight. This was not a hunt. This was an exercise in deconstruction. I proceeded to dismantle their tower of folly, bill by bill. The ones, the fives, the tens… each was dispatched with a surgical flick of my paw, sent sailing into the dark corners of the room. I was a silent, gray storm of redistribution. This wasn't play; it was performance art. I was creating a new landscape, a chaotic garden of useless green paper. I found that if I held one down with a paw and bit it just so, I could achieve a satisfying, albeit brief, rip. When the human found me the next morning, I was asleep in the center of the carnage. I had burrowed into the largest pile, a nest of twenties and fifties. They sighed, a sound I have learned means mild exasperation mixed with an inability to stay mad at my magnificent self. They thought I had simply made a mess. They were wrong. I had conducted a thorough and rigorous quality assurance test. As a toy, it failed on every conceivable metric. But as a one-time-use substrate for an epic mess and a surprisingly comfortable, albeit temporary, bed? In that, it excelled. It is not worthy of my attention, but it was, for one night, worthy of my contempt. And for a cat of my standards, that’s almost a compliment.
