Pete's Expert Summary
My human seems to have acquired what they call a "puzzle," which appears to be a picture they've deliberately shattered into two thousand pieces of cardboard. The brand, Ceaco, apparently prides itself on this controlled chaos, providing a large poster so the humans can remember what the flat thing is supposed to look like when they're done wasting their time. From my perspective, the appeal is twofold: the sheer quantity of small, lightweight objects is a promising source of batting practice, and the massive finished size of 38" x 26" presents an intriguing new platform for a strategic nap. The box itself is, of course, a high-quality sitting receptacle. The actual activity of "puzzling," however, seems dreadfully dull—a pointless exercise in restoring order to a mess they created themselves.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The box arrived, an imposing rectangular monolith that smelled faintly of ink and disappointment. My human, with the reverence usually reserved for opening a can of my favorite tuna, sliced it open. A multi-colored avalanche of tiny cardboard bits cascaded onto the dining room table, a space I had long ago designated as a napping auxiliary zone. The sheer audacity. They called it "Disney/Pixar Clips," a 2000-piece insult to my intelligence. They cooed about the "high-quality, sturdy puzzle board" as if that mattered. It was a mess, a deliberate act of entropy they now intended to reverse over the course of several weeks. I watched from my perch on the armchair, tail twitching, not with excitement, but with contempt. For the first few days, I treated the project with the disdain it deserved. I would occasionally stroll across the table, my paws navigating the sea of disconnected shapes, pretending not to notice the small clatter as a few pieces were nudged from their sorted piles. The humans would sigh, but my message was clear: this territory was still mine. But then, a thought began to form, a plan more cunning than simply scattering their work. Destruction was crude. Curation, however… that was an art form. This wasn't a puzzle; it was a vault, and I would become its most discerning thief. My operation began under the cloak of night. After the humans retired, dreaming their simple dreams, I’d leap silently onto the table. I surveyed their progress—a mostly-formed border, a small cluster of what looked like a blue fish. I wouldn’t take just any piece. I was selective. My first prize was a vibrant red piece, part of some cowboy’s shirt. I carried it gently in my mouth, its cardboard texture foreign against my tongue, and deposited it in my treasury: the dark, dusty space behind the radiator. The next night, I purloined a sliver of a green alien’s eye. Each evening, I performed my silent heist, building a secret collection, a mosaic of their impending failure. Weeks passed. The image on the table grew, a garish tapestry of cartoon faces. The humans grew more excited, their goal tantalizingly close. Then came the final day. They fit the last piece they could find, only to discover a single, glaring hole right in the center of a sad-looking robot's chest. Panic set in. They crawled on the floor. They checked the box. They blamed the dog, an imbecile incapable of such subtle sabotage. From the top of the bookshelf, I watched their "relaxing activity" devolve into frantic searching. They would never find it. This Ceaco product, I concluded, was a resounding success. It wasn't a toy for me, no, but it was the perfect medium through which to craft my masterpiece: their eternal, nagging sense of incompletion.
