Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has presented me with a collection of brightly painted wooden slabs. Apparently, these are "puzzles" designed to occupy the small, noisy human that sometimes inhabits my domain. They are made of natural wood, which has a certain rustic appeal for sharpening one's claws, and each piece has a delightful little peg handle that seems perfectly designed for batting. The whole "educational" aspect—letters, numbers, shapes—is a complete waste of perfectly good wood. Who needs to learn what 'B' is when you already know the meaning of 'Breakfast' and 'Brush'? However, the potential for scattering the pieces under the furniture gives this item a flicker of promise, and the box it arrived in is, of course, already a five-star napping destination.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The box it arrived in was, of course, immediately confiscated and repurposed as a forward observation post. From within its cardboard confines, I watched with detached amusement as the small human fumbled with the wooden boards. The creature pulled out the shapes and letters with a clumsy glee, occasionally trying to jam a square into a circular hole, a failure of logic so profound I had to close my eyes in secondhand embarrassment. After a few minutes of this sad spectacle, the small human was distracted by a sunbeam and toddled away, leaving the "toys" in a state of disarray on my favorite rug. I descended from my fortress to investigate the wreckage. The air smelled of paint and sawdust, not unpleasant. The wooden pieces were smooth, and the little pegs stood up like tiny, defiant soldiers. My first test was a bright red piece shaped like a 'B'. A simple flick of the paw sent it skittering across the hardwood floor, where it disappeared neatly under the credenza. An excellent, low-effort method for creating household mysteries. I approved. But batting them around seemed too simple. There was a system here, a language I wasn't yet fluent in. It was then that a new thought, a grander purpose, began to form in my mind. This wasn't a toy. This was an oracle. The scattered pieces were not random; they were a form of divination, a message from the universe if one was intelligent enough to read it. I nudged the 'F' piece with my nose. It pointed toward the kitchen. Ah, yes, 'Food'. I then swatted the number '4'. It landed near the window. Clearly, this meant that in four hours, a bird would land on the sill, ripe for intense staring. This was a tool for predicting the future. My initial skepticism melted away, replaced by a sense of profound power. The shape puzzle was a map of the living room—the circle was my water bowl, the square was the forbidden scratching post, the triangle was the sliver of sun that appeared in the afternoon. The letters were actions, the numbers were timelines. The small human wasn't playing; it was unknowingly shuffling the tarot cards of my day. My human thinks they bought an "educational toy" to make their offspring marginally less boring. What they actually acquired is a sophisticated chronometer and event-prediction system for their feline overlord. The GRINNNIE puzzles are not worthy of my "play." They are worthy of my serious, daily consultation. Verdict: An indispensable tool for the modern cat of foresight. Now, if you'll excuse me, the pieces predict a nap is imminent.
