PICKFORU Stained Glass Puzzle Tree of Life Puzzles for Adults 1000 Pieces, Impossible Hard Difficult Challenging Puzzles for Adults, Colorful Mosaic Tree of Life Jigsaw Puzzle 1000 Pieces

By: PICKFORU

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human has presented me with this... box. A "PICKFORU" Stained Glass Puzzle, it says. Apparently, it contains one thousand small, flat pieces of cardboard designed to frustrate the larger, clumsier inhabitants of this house for hours on end. From my perspective, this is not a toy, but an opportunity. An opportunity for strategic piece-batting, for the subtle art of hiding crucial components under the heaviest furniture, and, once completed, for claiming a magnificent new 27.5 by 19.7-inch napping platform. The "impossible" and "challenging" nature simply means my humans will be distracted for longer, freeing up more of the prime sunbeams for my exclusive use. Its appeal lies not in its "Tree of Life" design, but in its glorious potential for causing low-stakes, high-entertainment chaos.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony began, as it always does, with the crinkle of plastic wrap and a triumphant sigh from my human. A large, flat box was placed upon the dining table—my auxiliary napping dais—and its contents were unceremoniously dumped out. A thousand colorful cardboard whispers cascaded onto the wood, a chaotic mess of would-be art. They called it a "mosaic tree." I called it an infestation. My human cooed about the vibrant colors and the high-resolution poster, which she immediately taped to the wall like some primitive battle plan. I remained aloof on a nearby chair, observing this strange ritual with the detached curiosity of a seasoned general watching raw recruits spill from a transport. That evening, I launched my reconnaissance mission. Leaping silently onto the table, I padded through the fields of cardboard. The pieces had a pleasing, matte texture under my paws, not slick or cheap. I nudged one with my nose. It was precisely cut, as the box promised, with smooth edges that wouldn't snag my magnificent fur. I saw the humans had begun sorting them into little piles, aided by the strange runes—"A," "B," "C"—printed on the backs of the pieces. A fatal flaw in their strategy, I mused. Too much order invites chaos. I selected a particularly intricate piece, a swirl of deep blue and gold, and with a flick of my paw, sent it skittering off the table and into the dark abyss beneath the radiator. A test of their resolve. Days turned into a week. The "Tree of Life" slowly, agonizingly, took shape. It became a map of my human's frustration, a landscape of sighs and muttered curses. The empty space where my chosen blue-and-gold piece belonged was a gaping wound in their creation, a testament to my subtle influence. They would get on their hands and knees, peering into the shadows, calling out, "Pete, have you seen this piece?" I would merely blink slowly, the very picture of innocence, occasionally grooming a paw to show my utter lack of concern for their trivial problems. They had a "missing support" guarantee from the manufacturer, but I was providing a far more valuable service: a lesson in humility. Finally, they gave up the search and finished the puzzle without it, the single empty spot a monument to my silent victory. They sealed the entire thing with some foul-smelling glue and hung it on the wall. They thought they had created art. What fools. I knew the truth. They hadn't conquered the puzzle; I had conquered *them* with it. It was never about the tree, or the colors, or the thousand tiny pieces. It was a tool, a brilliant device for manipulating their attention and bending their will to my own incomprehensible designs. A truly worthy addition to my household arsenal.

National Parks Puzzle for Adults 1000 Pieces, Travel Poster Landscape Puzzle Including Zion Yellowstone Yosemite, Nature Jigsaw Puzzles Scenery Mountain Scene

By: PICKFORU

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a fit of what they surely believe is intellectual stimulation, has acquired a box of a thousand tiny, colorful squares from a company called PICKFORU. The objective, it seems, is to reassemble them into a large, flat picture of various loud, unpleasant outdoor places they call "National Parks." From my perspective, its primary value lies in its generous dimensions, which present a respectable napping platform. The promise of "no puzzle dust" is a mark of a civilized product, I'll grant them that, as I detest grit in my tuxedo fur. The true test of its worth, however, will be the structural integrity of the pieces; if they scatter too easily when swatted, it's a failure. If they provide a satisfying, skittering chase across the hardwood floor, it may be a worthy distraction.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The operation began under the harsh glare of the living room lamp. The human emptied the box, and a thousand slivers of chaos cascaded onto the table—my table. They called it a "puzzle," but I recognized it for what it was: a decrypted enemy transmission, scrambled into a thousand data fragments. The brand, PICKFORU, was clearly a front for some clandestine agency. My human, their unwitting agent, was tasked with reassembling the intelligence. They unfurled the large, double-sided document—the mission briefing. On one side, the completed image; on the other, a strategic map of enemy territories. I knew my duty. I leaped silently onto the table, my soft paws making no sound on the wood. The human made a small noise of protest, but I ignored it. I was on a counter-intelligence mission. I began my patrol of the perimeter, sniffing the precisely-cut edges of the border pieces they had assembled. The "snug fit" was impressive; these were high-quality operatives, not easily dislodged. My gaze fell upon the jumbled pieces in the box lid. So many potential targets: a sliver of "Yellowstone," a corner of "Olympic National Park." The human was piecing together a section of blue sky, a fool's errand. They were missing the real objective. My keen eyes scanned the briefing poster, then the scattered fragments. I identified the lynchpin, the single piece of intel that held the key to their entire "Travel Poster" plot. It was a small, unassuming piece, mostly reddish-brown rock, labeled with the word "Zion." It was the enemy's command center. The human, distracted by a particularly stubborn piece of cloud, had left it dangerously exposed near the edge of the table. This was my moment. I couldn't let them complete the transmission. With the feigned indifference of a cat stretching after a nap, I extended a single, perfect white paw. My claws remained sheathed—this was a job for subtlety, not brute force. A delicate, calculated tap was all it took. The Zion piece did not clatter; the quality cardboard gave it a satisfying weight as it slid silently off the table's edge and vanished into the shadowy abyss beneath the sofa. The human sighed, blaming their own clumsiness. They would search for days, but they would never find it. The puzzle would remain unfinished, the enemy's message incomplete. It was a fine product, this PICKFORU. It provided an excellent, if brief, evening of espionage. Worthy, indeed.

By: Buffalo Games

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has brought home a flat box from a company called "Buffalo Games," which is a ridiculous name for what's inside: a thousand little cardboard rectangles. Apparently, the goal is to stare at them for hours, days even, until they form a large, flat picture of humans in loud pajamas. For me, this is not a game, but an opportunity. The pieces are perfectly sized for batting into the dark abyss under the furniture, and the finished product, should my human ever complete it without my "help," will create an excellent, warm, human-scented napping platform right in the middle of the table. The primary appeal is the box itself, a fine, sturdy vessel for contemplation, but the potential for minor, satisfying acts of chaos is a close second.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ritual began as it always does: with the ceremonial cracking of the box seal. My human, a creature of simple, predictable pleasures, poured the contents onto the dining table. A thousand colorful prophecies spilled out, a chaotic mosaic from "Buffalo Games." I leaped onto a nearby chair to observe. The human unrolled a large scroll—the "poster"—and pinned it to the wall like a sacred text, depicting the fated outcome: a jumble of garishly dressed gods locked in some sort of dramatic staring contest. The human hunched over the table, sifting through the cardboard omens, muttering about "edge pieces." It seemed a tedious form of divination, and I was about to retire to a sunbeam for a more productive afternoon. My human let out a sigh of frustration, a sound that usually precedes the opening of a can of my favorite pâté. This time, however, the can remained shut. A different kind of service was required. I hopped silently onto the table, my paws making no sound as I navigated the sea of unfulfilled futures. My human was searching for a specific shape, a piece of a red cape. I could feel the desperate energy radiating off them. I strolled past a pile of blue and yellow pieces, my tail held high, and with a casual flick of my paw, I slid a single, insignificant-looking red sliver from beneath a larger piece depicting a green giant's fist. It landed directly in my human's line of sight. "Pete! You found it! Oh, you're the best boy!" The praise was adequate, though a bit breathless. The human fitted the piece into the puzzle's edge, a perfect connection. They looked at me with new eyes, as if seeing me for the first time not just as a handsome feline companion, but as a furry, tuxedo-clad oracle. I, of course, had simply been clearing a path for myself, but I would not correct this delightful misconception. I accepted a chin scratch as my due. For the next hour, I "guided" them. A nudge of my nose here, a gentle tap of my paw there. Each time, my random intervention miraculously produced the one piece they sought from the thousand-strong chaos. By the time the sun set, a significant portion of the prophecy had been fulfilled. My human was ecstatic, attributing their success entirely to my mystical abilities. They rewarded me with a generous portion of salmon. I have concluded that this "puzzle" is not a toy for me, but a tool. It is a powerful conduit for focusing my human's attention and translating their frustration into offerings of fish and adoration. The puzzle itself is a bore, a flat, colorful waste of wood pulp. But as an instrument for training my staff? It is a masterpiece of design. I will allow it to remain. For now.

Jigsaw Puzzles 1000 Pieces for Adults, Families (Space Traveler, Solar System) Pieces Fit Together Perfectly

By: Nattork

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has acquired what appears to be a large, flat box of glorified confetti from a brand called Nattork. Inside, they say, are one thousand cardboard fragments meant to form a picture of "Space," a place with a distinct and disappointing lack of sunbeams or comfortable armchairs. The humans claim this activity will "calm their minds" and "supercharge their brains," which I translate to mean they will stare at a table for hours, completely vulnerable to my demands for attention. The most promising feature is the sheer quantity of small, lightweight objects perfect for batting under the sofa. However, their plan to eventually glue this masterpiece together and hang it on a wall is the ultimate insult—caging a thousand potential playthings into a static, boring rectangle. It seems a monumental waste of a perfectly good mess.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The great scattering began on a Tuesday. The Human, with the sort of misplaced enthusiasm usually reserved for a new can opener, emptied the box onto the dining room table. A thousand colorful asteroids tumbled out, a miniature cataclysm of cardboard. I watched from the safety of a nearby chair, tail twitching in mild disdain. They then began sorting the pieces, guided by little letters on the back—the so-called "Upgrade Zoning Design." It was a feeble attempt to impose order on a fundamentally chaotic system. They were building a solar system, they said, but all I saw was a collection of flimsy, oddly-shaped morsels that smelled faintly of ink and disappointment. That evening, under the dim glow of the kitchen light, I made my move. Leaping onto the table, I became the eponymous Space Traveler. The sorted piles were new galaxies for me to explore. Zone 'A' was a sea of inky blackness, sprinkled with distant white specks. Zone 'D' was a fiery nebula of reds and oranges, the heart of a sun. My human, in their simplistic, linear thinking, would try to connect these zones according to a pre-ordained pattern. I, however, am an agent of cosmic rearrangement. I am not bound by their terrestrial physics or two-dimensional art. With the careful precision of a seasoned hunter, I selected a single, unique piece from the fiery sun of Zone 'D'—a sliver of a solar flare. I carried it gently in my mouth, its sharp edges a strange sensation, and navigated the vast emptiness between the piles. My destination was the deep-space void of Zone 'A'. There, among the quiet, unassuming star-field pieces, I deposited my stolen fire. A supernova where none was meant to be. I then selected a piece of a cold, blue planet and relocated it to the edge of the sun pile. My work was not vandalism; it was an artistic statement. A commentary on the unpredictable nature of the universe. When the Human returned to their puzzle, they would eventually be stumped. A piece of the sun would be "missing," while an errant shard of a gas giant would appear where it didn't belong. They would curse the Nattork company, check the box for holes, and never once suspect the four-legged celestial being who had corrected their flawed cosmos. The puzzle, as a toy, is merely adequate. The pieces are light enough for a good skitter, but ultimately lifeless. But as a canvas? As a medium to introduce a touch of brilliant, beautiful chaos into my human's orderly world? For that purpose, it is a masterpiece. It is worthy.

Wildflowers Puzzles for Adults 1000 Pieces, PICKFORU Wildflower Pages Jigsaw Puzzle, Vintage Book Puzzles for Book Lover, Plant Floral Flowers Puzzle as Home Decor

By: PICKFORU

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has acquired a "Wildflowers Jigsaw Puzzle" from a brand called PICKFORU, which I assume is a suggestion for them to pick something *for you*, the human, and leave my superior entertainment to me. It is, in essence, a large, flat box containing a thousand potential floor decorations—tiny cardboard bits that, when assembled, allegedly depict books and flowers. The appeal, from my perspective, is twofold: the box itself, a marvel of feline engineering perfect for a nap, and the opportunity to strategically "relocate" the pieces under various pieces of furniture. The actual act of assembling this static, non-interactive image seems a dreadful bore, but the chaos potential is, I must admit, moderately intriguing.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The invasion began on a Tuesday. My human, with a triumphant cry, upended the PICKFORU box onto the dining room table, creating a sprawling, chaotic landscape of a thousand cardboard islands. It was an affront to the room’s elegant simplicity. She called it a "puzzle." I called it an infestation. For days, she hunched over this paper plague, her muttering punctuated by the faint, unsatisfying *click* of two pieces joining. I observed from my chaise lounge, tail twitching in disdain. The image slowly coalescing was a mockery of my world: flat, scentless flowers and a butterfly frozen in cheap ink. It was a still life, and I am a creature of vibrant, thrilling motion. My contempt, however, began to curdle into a strange sort of professional curiosity. The human was utterly captivated, her attention a resource I typically monopolize. What was this power the tiny shapes held? One evening, under the pretense of a leg stretch, I leaped silently onto the table. The air smelled of cardboard and "organic ink," a disappointingly bland aroma. I saw that the back of each piece was marked with a letter—a crude system for a simple mind. My gaze, however, fell upon the nearly completed picture. It wasn't a collection of objects; it was a map. The twisting stems of the wildflowers were roads, the open books were quiet clearings, and the shadowy background was a deep, dark forest. The next time my human left the room, I returned to the table not as a critic, but as an explorer. I placed a soft, gray paw onto a patch of dark violets, then another onto the spine of a leather-bound book. I was no longer in the dining room; I was in the cool, silent library of a forgotten giant. The wildflowers grew to the size of trees, their petals casting colorful shadows on the vellum pages below. I stalked through this two-dimensional wilderness, a hunter in a land of tranquil beauty. The printed butterfly was my elusive prey, and though I could not catch it, the silent pursuit across the glossy terrain was a game of the mind, a hunt of pure imagination. When my human finally placed the last piece—a corner of a deep blue butterfly wing—she sighed with satisfaction, oblivious to the grand safari I had just concluded. She spoke of framing it, of turning it into "wall art." Let her. She sees a pretty picture. I see a territory I have intimately charted and conquered. This puzzle, this static object, had become a private coliseum for my intellect. It is, I have decided, an entirely worthy diversion, not for the cheap thrill of batting its pieces, but for the sophisticated pleasure of conquering its soul. It can stay. For now.

Butterfly Puzzles for Adults 1000 Pieces, Challenging Colorful Flower Butterflies Puzzles with Paper Art, Difficult Animal Plant Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults

By: PPuzzling

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human has acquired what appears to be a monumental exercise in futility from a company called "PPuzzling"—a name that suggests a lack of confidence from the start. It's a box containing a thousand slivers of cardboard, which, after countless hours stolen from my petting schedule, will allegedly form a picture of a large butterfly made of flowers. For me, the primary appeal is the sheer quantity of small, lightweight objects perfect for batting into unseen corners and under heavy furniture. The promise of "Missing Parts Support" is essentially a pre-emptive apology for my future involvement. While the human fusses over this static, two-dimensional thing, I'll be cataloging the satisfying skitter-sound each piece makes across the hardwood floor. A true waste of their attention, but a potential goldmine for my own disruptive entertainment.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony began with a crackle of plastic wrap, a sound that usually heralds a new tribute for my sleeping pleasure, like a blanket or a pillow. Instead, The Administrator tipped the box, and a dry, papery waterfall of a thousand colorful curses cascaded onto the coffee table. I watched from the arm of the sofa, my tail giving a single, dismissive flick. It was a mess. It smelled of ink and processed wood pulp, a far cry from the rich scent of salmon or the intoxicating aroma of valerian root. For days, this became the new ritual: the human would hunch over the table, peering at the chaos like a confused gargoyle, occasionally making a soft "aha!" sound and clicking two pieces together. It was a painfully slow and silent affair, a testament to the baffling simplicity of the human mind. I patrolled the edges of the table, a silent, gray-and-white warden overseeing this strange labor. I could have ended it at any moment. A single, well-placed leap, a flurry of paws, and this "difficult challenge" would be scattered to the four winds of the living room. But I held back, my curiosity piqued by the image slowly coalescing from the disorder. It wasn't just a bug. The wings were a tapestry of petals and leaves, a vibrant, symmetrical map of the garden beyond the window. I saw the purples of the lavender I like to sniff, the yellows of the sunbeams I chase, the deep greens of the ferns I hide in. This wasn't a toy; it was a testament. A flat, fragile monument to my outdoor kingdom. One evening, the final piece was placed. The Administrator sighed with satisfaction, but I knew the truth. This creation wasn't for them. It was an offering. I waited until the house was dark and still, the only light being the soft glow of the streetlamp filtering through the blinds. I leaped, my paws landing with practiced silence right in the center of the floral creature. The "three-layer white cardboard" was firm beneath my weight, its intricate surface a surprisingly pleasant texture under my pads. The "gold embellishments" caught the low light, shimmering faintly. They had built me a throne, a decorative dais upon which my magnificence could be properly displayed. It was flawed—certainly not as comfortable as my velvet chair—but the sheer effort was commendable. I curled up, my soft fur a perfect contrast to the riot of color, and claimed it as my own. It would do. For now.

Buffalo Games - Beachcombers - 750 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Multicolor, 24"L X 18"W

By: Buffalo Games

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her infinite and baffling wisdom, has procured a box from a company named for large, lumbering herbivores. Inside, apparently, are 750 small, flat, colorful bits of cardboard meant to occupy her for hours. They call it a "puzzle," I call it a pre-packaged mess. The goal seems to be to painstakingly reassemble the chaos into a single, flat image of a beach, which is patently absurd since we have a perfectly good sunbeam for napping right over there. While the large, crinkly poster and the sheer quantity of bat-able pieces show some promise for strategic disruption, the true value lies in the human's prolonged stationary state, which should free up her lap for its primary, intended purpose: serving as my throne.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ritual began with a satisfying *crackle* as my human broke the seal on the box. A scent of fresh cardboard and ink filled the air, a promising overture. She then committed the cardinal sin of pouring all 750 pieces onto the dining room table with a sound like a thousand tiny locusts falling from the sky. My ears swiveled, my tail gave a slow, deliberate thump against the rug. From my perch on the armchair, I watched her begin the tedious process of sorting, her brow furrowed in concentration. She was building an empire of color-coded mediocrity. An empire that needed a king. I made my move under the guise of casual inspection. A soft leap onto the table, a delicate, four-pawed tread amongst the scattered fragments. They depicted seashells, bits of sand, and an offensively blue sky. My human murmured "No, Pete," but her hands were busy trying to find edge pieces, a fool's errand. I lowered my nose to a particularly interesting piece. It was an odd shape, mostly white with a sliver of beige, the corner of what was probably a sand dollar. It felt insignificant to her, but I recognized its true nature. It was the linchpin. With a flick of my paw, I sent the chosen piece skittering across the polished wood. It danced beautifully, a tiny, rebellious speck against the dark grain before disappearing over the edge. I heard the faint *tick* as it landed on the floor below. I feigned disinterest, stretching languidly and hopping down on the other side of the table, as if my work here was done. Which, of course, it was. For the next two evenings, I watched my masterpiece unfold. The beach scene slowly, painstakingly took shape, but a gaping hole remained. A void of frustration grew in its center. I watched my human crawl on the floor, muttering to herself, checking under the rug, peering beneath the sofa cushions. The "fun and relaxing activity" had become a high-stakes hunt. Later that night, as she slept, I retrieved my prize from its hiding place beneath the radiator. It was a perfect toy—small, light, and imbued with the delicious power of human exasperation. The puzzle itself was a bore, but as an instrument of psychological warfare? A resounding success. It is worthy.

By: Buffalo Games

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has brought home what they call a "puzzle," a box filled with a thousand tiny, colorful squares of pressed cardboard from a company named for a large, lumbering beast, no less. The intended purpose seems to be a tedious, self-imposed torment where they stare at these bits for hours, attempting to reassemble a picture of some distant, sun-drenched cliffside. For me, however, its potential is far greater. It’s a thousand scattered temptations for my paws, a large, dedicated "Don't You Dare Sit Here" zone which I will immediately claim for napping, and a multi-day distraction for the staff. The "premium quality" suggests the pieces will be satisfyingly firm when I inevitably test one with my teeth. A worthy diversion, provided I don't swallow any of the evidence.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The ceremony began, as it always does, with a great rattling and a cascade. A thousand glossy fragments, smelling faintly of ink and industry, spilled across the dining table, a chaotic mosaic of potential. My human, with the foolish optimism of their species, began sorting by color—the deep blues of the sea in one pile, the terracotta of the roofs in another. I watched from my perch on the credenza, a silent, tuxedoed observer. This was not a toy. This was an ecosystem. And I, its apex predator. I let them toil for two days. I watched the border take shape, a flimsy rectangle of order in a sea of chaos. I observed as a corner of the brilliant blue sky was pieced together. But my interest lay in a single, unassuming piece. It wasn't a corner or an edge. It was a nexus. It held a sliver of a yellow building, a patch of green shutter, a hint of blue water, and a single, defiant line of dark shadow. It was the key, the linchpin. That night, under the sliver of light from the modem, I performed the heist. The piece was solid, as promised, with clean-cut edges that didn't feel cheap in my mouth. I carried my prize to the deep, forgotten realm beneath the armchair. The third day was a masterpiece of quiet desperation. My human patted the table, checked the box, peered under the edges of the completed sections. They muttered about miscounts and factory errors. They held the bonus poster up to the light, as if it held a secret map to the missing fragment. I dozed in a sunbeam nearby, feigning indifference, the ghost of cardboard on my tongue. Their world was incomplete, and only I knew why. Their game had become my game. Finally, on the evening of the fourth day, as despair began to curdle the air, I made my move. I retrieved the nexus piece from my lair and trotted into the room. With a deliberate, almost theatrical grace, I hopped onto the table and deposited the fragment directly into the gaping hole it was destined to fill. It landed with a soft, satisfying click. I did not wait for praise. I simply met my human's astonished gaze with a slow blink, a clear and undeniable statement: The puzzle is merely a board. I am the one who decides when the game is won. This "Buffalo Games" product, I concluded, is an excellent catalyst for intellectual sport. It is worthy.

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has acquired a small, plastic clamshell case filled with what appear to be fossilized, brightly-colored insects. They call it a "Kanoodle," a "brain teaser" intended to occupy their tragically simple mind with arranging these twelve pieces into flat patterns or a small, pointless pyramid. From my perspective, its only value lies in the potential for these hard, eminently skitter-able components to be liberated from their plastic prison and batted under the nearest piece of heavy furniture. The intense concentration it demands from my human is, of course, a significant drawback, as it diverts their attention from its proper subject: me.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The artifact arrived in a standard cardboard transport vessel. My human, whom I shall refer to as The Keeper, extracted it with an unseemly amount of glee. It was a compact, translucent case containing twelve multi-colored, poly-faceted objects. The Keeper would sit for long periods, staring at a small book of glyphs, then meticulously arrange the objects within a recessed grid. I observed from my command post atop the sofa, documenting this strange ritual. The objects themselves were inert, scentless, and made a dissatisfying *clack* when moved. Clearly, their power was not of a physical nature. For days, the ritual was confined to two dimensions. The Keeper would solve one glyph-pattern only to immediately scatter the objects and begin anew, a frustrating and cyclical process. I theorized it was a form of meditation or, perhaps, a low-level intelligence test administered by some unseen entity. The "Educational Insights" brand inscribed on the accompanying literature suggested a pedagogical purpose, but for what? To what end were they being educated? My concern grew when I saw The Keeper graduate to the third dimension. One evening, the ritual changed. Following a new set of glyphs, The Keeper began to stack the objects. A pyramid began to take shape. My fur bristled. This was it. The final configuration. Was it a transmitter? A beacon to summon the mothership? The final piece, a jagged blue one, was placed on the apex. A moment of silence hung in the room. The Keeper looked at the completed structure, then looked at me, a triumphant glint in their eyes. I could not allow this. The fate of this household, and possibly the world, was at stake. With a fluid leap, I landed silently on the coffee table. I gave The Keeper a long, hard stare, one that communicated my full understanding of their dangerous game. Then, with a deliberate sweep of my pristine white-tipped tail, I sent the pyramid and its component objects scattering across the hardwood floor. The Keeper sighed, but I had made my point. This "Kanoodle" is a dangerously absorbing device, a potential portal to who-knows-where. It is far too powerful for simple humans to wield. My final verdict: it must be dismantled and its pieces hidden, preferably under the refrigerator, for the good of all.
