Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in their infinite and baffling wisdom, has acquired what they call a "puzzle." From my vantage point on the heated blanket, it appears to be a box full of a thousand tiny, flat objects destined to occupy the dining room table for weeks, effectively reducing the surface area available for my naps. The brand, Ravensburger, suggests a certain German efficiency, which means the pieces are likely well-made and uniformly shaped, offering a prime opportunity for me to test their individual flight dynamics by batting them under the radiator. The artwork, a grotesque menagerie of *dogs*, is an affront to my sensibilities. While the human seems to think assembling this chaotic canine tableau is a form of "relaxation," I see it for what it is: a colossal waste of time that could be better spent admiring me, feeding me, or engaging in a spirited session with the laser dot.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The box was opened with a ceremonial sigh, the kind my human reserves for activities they believe are enriching but I know are merely a distraction from their primary purpose: my servitude. A blizzard of colored cardboard rained down upon the polished wood of the dining table—a thousand fractured prophecies. My human began their clumsy ritual, hunting for edge pieces with the focus of a dull-witted bird pecking for worms. I watched from the floor, tail twitching in mild contempt. Another pointless human endeavor. But as the evening light slanted through the window, catching the dust motes dancing over the scattered fragments, I saw it. This was no mere game. These were not pieces, but runes. Each one, with its absurd snippet of a grinning beagle or a tangled leash, was a glyph containing a tiny piece of the future. The sturdy, linen-finished feel of the German-made cardboard under my paws confirmed their importance; these were artifacts of some weight, not flimsy trifles. The picture of the "Dog Walker" was simply a crude, literal interpretation for the uninitiated. The true meaning lay in the patterns, the connections, the chaos before order. I leaped onto the table, a silent, gray-furred oracle amidst the colorful chaos. My human murmured something about "getting cat hair all over it," completely missing the gravity of the moment. I was not interfering; I was divining. I walked with deliberate grace, my tuxedo-white paws nudging specific pieces. I pushed a fragment showing a chaotic explosion of tennis balls next to one depicting a fire hydrant. I separated a piece showing a smug-looking pug from the main cluster, isolating it near the table's edge. This was not destruction. This was interpretation. My human, oblivious, would eventually follow my path. They'd pick up a piece I had nudged, turn it over in their fingers, and find its place. And when they did, the famous Ravensburger "interlocking fit" would produce a soft, satisfying *click*. They heard a puzzle piece snapping into place; I heard a lock turning in the great machinery of fate. The puzzle, I decided, was worthy. Not as a picture of our slobbering nemeses, but as a cosmic switchboard. And I, Pete, was its sole, divinely appointed operator. The human could have their little game; I was busy directing the universe.
