Pete's Expert Summary
It appears my human has acquired another box of colorful, flat things. From what I can gather, this "Ceaco" brand puzzle is a human ritual object designed for staring at intently for hours. It consists of one thousand small, pressboard rectangles which, when assembled, depict some sort of chaotic blue creature and a small human female. For me, the appeal is not in the "high-resolution artwork"—a concept as foreign to me as voluntary bathing—but in the tactical possibilities. A thousand lightweight, skittering pieces are a thousand opportunities for batting under the sofa, hiding in slippers, or simply observing as they plummet from the edge of the table. The finished product, a "lumpy nap mat," might have some merit, but the true value lies in the journey of systematic and delightful disruption.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The box arrived with the usual fanfare—the tearing of tape, the rustle of plastic, the cooing from my human about "family time." I observed from my perch on the armchair, feigning indifference. They spilled the contents onto the dining room table, a thousand tiny clicks and clatters that sent a shiver of predatory glee down my spine. But then I saw the poster they unfurled. It depicted a grotesque blue alien, all ears and teeth, engaged in some manner of mischief. My human pointed at it. "Isn't Stitch cute, Pete?" Cute? I saw a rival. A usurper rendered in two dimensions. My initial plan was simple sabotage. A gentle nudge here, a swatted piece there. But as they began their methodical sorting, a more insidious narrative began to form in my mind. They weren't just assembling a picture; they were performing a ritual. They spoke in hushed tones, consulting the poster like an ancient scroll. "I think this blue piece goes to his ear," my human's partner would say. They were building it. They were summoning this blue demon from the flatlands of cardboard, piece by agonizing piece, to replace me. The interlocking pieces weren't a feature; they were the ligaments and sinews of this new creature. I could not allow this blasphemy to be completed. Waiting until they were both distracted by a particularly stubborn section of sky, I launched myself onto the table. Not with a crash, but with the deliberate, silent weight of a king reclaiming his throne. I landed squarely in the section that constituted the creature's face. The humans gasped. I ignored them. My mission was singular. I located the most vital-looking component—a piece that contained the glint of a dark, soulless eye—and gently picked it up with my teeth. It had the dry, satisfactory taste of victory. With my prize secured, I hopped down and trotted into the living room. I didn't hide it under the couch; that was for amateurs. Instead, I carefully deposited the cardboard eye directly into the water fountain, watching it float for a moment before slowly sinking into the depths. Let them search. Let them call my name in that pleading tone they use. Their little blue monster would remain forever blind, forever incomplete. This Ceaco puzzle, I concluded, was not merely a toy. It was an arsenal. And it had proven to be an exceptionally satisfying tool for maintaining domestic order. It is most worthy.
