Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in their infinite and baffling wisdom, has procured a "Masterpieces" puzzle. From what I can gather, it's a collection of flat, oddly shaped cardboard morsels that they intend to stare at for hours, attempting to fit them together to form a picture of some mythical horned horse. For me, the appeal is twofold and entirely unintended by the manufacturer. First, the box it arrives in is a prime, Grade-A napping receptacle. Second, the "EZ Grip" pieces are large enough to be satisfyingly batted under the sofa, one by one. The rest of it—the "Magical Journey," the communal "fun"—seems a dreadful waste of perfectly good sunlight patches and my valuable supervisory time.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The box arrived on a Tuesday, a day I usually reserve for deep contemplation of the dust bunnies under the armchair. The humans, with their typical noisy enthusiasm, tore it open, spilling a colorful avalanche of cardboard onto the low table in the living room. They called it a "Magical Journey," pointing to the garish image of a unicorn on the lid. I, however, was not so easily impressed. It was just a mess, a chaotic landscape of disjointed shapes and colors. I gave a dismissive tail flick and settled onto a nearby velvet cushion to observe their foolishness. Hours passed. The humans painstakingly assembled a border, their brows furrowed in concentration. As the image slowly began to take shape, my gaze fell upon one piece. It was not like the others. It was an elegant, curved shard of pearlescent white, tipped with a swirl of gold. It was, I knew with a certainty that shook my very soul, a fragment of the unicorn's horn—the source of its power. The humans saw it as a simple puzzle piece. I saw it as a sacred artifact, the Alabaster Shard of legend, and I knew it did not belong in their mundane tableau. It belonged with me. My mission began under the cover of a brief human pilgrimage to the kitchen for "snacks." I moved with the silence of a shadow, my white paws making no sound on the rug. Leaping onto the table, I located the Shard. Its "EZ Grip" thickness made it substantial, perfect for a gentle but firm grasp in my teeth. I snatched it from its place among the lesser pieces and vanished. My own magical journey had begun. I paraded my prize through the vast canyons between the sofa cushions, navigated the dark forest of dining chair legs, and finally brought it to my sacred hoard: the inside of a single, forgotten leather loafer in the back of the closet. Later, I listened to the humans' confused muttering. "Where could it have gone?" "Are you *sure* it was here?" They searched, growing ever more frustrated. I groomed my pristine tuxedo bib, a smug smile playing on my lips. They could have their flat, two-dimensional unicorn. I had its very essence, its power, tucked safely away. The puzzle, as a whole, was a tedious bore. But that one, single, magnificent piece? An absolute masterpiece. Worthy of a king. Worthy of me.
