Pete's Expert Summary
So, my human has procured a flat box from a brand called Ceaco. Inside, apparently, are one thousand small, flat, colorful pieces of compressed paper designed to be painstakingly fitted together over many tedious hours to form an image of a chaotic blue creature and a small human. To me, this "Lilo and Stitch" puzzle is not a "fun and relaxing activity" but a multi-faceted enrichment center. The box itself is a prime napping receptacle, the large poster a magnificent crinkling mat, and the thousand little pieces are, of course, individual, high-quality batting toys perfect for scattering into the darkest, most inaccessible corners of the domicile. The finished 26.5” x 19” rectangle of cardboard might make for an acceptable lounging platform, but I doubt my human's ability to ever complete it, especially with my dedicated "help."

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The ceremony began with a sigh of satisfaction from my human as she sliced the plastic from the box. A scent of fresh cardboard and ink filled the air—a promising start. She spilled the contents onto the dining room table, a waterfall of colorful confetti that I, in my infinite wisdom, immediately recognized as a challenge. She called it a "puzzle." I called it a disorganized mess in desperate need of a curator. She unfolded a large, glossy poster of the finished image, a garish scene with a blue monster-dog tearing something apart. A kindred spirit, perhaps. My first order of business was quality control. As she began her bizarre ritual of flipping every piece right-side-up, I leaped onto the table with the grace of a falling anvil, my tuxedo-clad form landing squarely in a pile of what she had designated as "sky." The pieces flew. It was a beautiful, chaotic explosion of blue and white. A small, exasperated sound escaped her lips, which I interpreted as applause. I then selected a single, oddly-shaped piece—one with a sliver of the monster’s ear—and nudged it with my nose. It had a satisfyingly smooth texture. I pushed it to the edge of the table and watched it flutter to the floor. Art. Over the next hour, I became a ghost, a whisper of gray fur weaving through the battlefield of her concentration. While she was hunched over, trying to connect a section of a palm tree, I was busy liberating other pieces. One was relocated to the water bowl to test its claimed "sturdy" nature. Another was expertly batted under the gap beneath the refrigerator, a sacrifice to the Great Appliance God. My masterpiece, however, was my silent occupation of the now-empty box lid. It was the perfect size, a throne from which I could oversee the slow, agonizing construction and my concurrent, far more efficient deconstruction. She finally stood up, stretching her back and surveying her meager progress—a wobbly bit of the puzzle's border. She then looked at the scattered pieces on the floor, the damp one I had rescued from the water bowl, and finally at me, curled regally in the box, a single, vital corner piece tucked neatly under my chin. Her sigh was different this time, one of weary resignation. She hadn't bought a puzzle; she had bought an interactive art installation, and I was the star artist. It was, I decided with a deep, rumbling purr, a worthy acquisition. The Ceaco brand understands that true play isn't about order; it's about glorious, sophisticated chaos.
