Pete's Expert Summary
It appears the humans have acquired a box of organized dirt. From what I can gather, this "GobiDex Gemstones Dig Kit" contains a lump of plaster shaped like some celestial body and a set of miniature implements for its destruction. The purpose is for a small human to chip away at this dusty orb for hours, making a ghastly mess, all to retrieve fifteen small, shiny rocks. While I appreciate a good excavation—the soil in the forbidden fern pot comes to mind—this seems a noisy and inefficient endeavor. The inevitable dust cloud is a direct threat to my pristine fur, and the cacophony of a tiny hammer is an affront to a peaceful afternoon nap. The only items of real value are likely the cardboard box it arrived in and, perhaps, the "gems" themselves, provided they are of a suitable size and weight for batting under the sofa.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The incident began when the human presented their small, noisy offspring with a curious box from a company called "GobiDex." Inside, nestled in plastic, was a gray, pockmarked sphere. They called it the "moon," but my superior senses told a different story. It was an artifact, an orb of immense, dormant power, and I knew instantly its presence disturbed the delicate balance of my kingdom. I watched from the high ground of the sofa's armrest, my tail a twitching metronome of suspicion, as the small human donned ridiculous goggles and armed itself with a primitive hammer and chisel. An assault commenced. With each clumsy *tink* of the hammer, a plume of gray dust, smelling of chalk and disappointment, puffed into the air, threatening to settle on my immaculate white bib. This was no mere child's play; this was a desecration, a crude attempt to breach the artifact's core. I flattened my ears, expecting some terrible energy to be unleashed, a sonic boom that would shatter the windows or perhaps a swarm of microscopic aliens to pour forth and challenge my sovereignty. I remained poised, a silent, furry guardian ready to defend my home from this foolishly instigated cosmic peril. Then, the sphere cracked. The small human brushed away the fragments with a tiny brush, revealing not a swirling vortex to another dimension, but a rather dull, purple rock. My contempt grew. They chipped further, unearthing more—a sparkly one, a striped one, a cloudy one. Fifteen in total. The great, terrible artifact was nothing more than a glorified rattle filled with pebbles. The small human stared at them through a magnifying glass, cooing with delight over the mundane trinkets they had liberated from their plaster prison. The sheer anticlimax of it all was insulting. Later, after the mess was contained and the small human had grown bored, one of the so-called "gems"—a smoothly polished piece of tiger's eye—lay abandoned on the rug. The threat had been neutralized, leaving only its spoils. I crept down from my perch and gave the stone a tentative nudge with my paw. It skittered across the hardwood floor, its stripes catching the lamplight in a most satisfying way. I pounced, batting it into the shadowed realm beneath the credenza. Very well. The humans' clumsy foray into planetary destruction was an utter waste of their time, but it has yielded an object of moderate amusement for mine. It is a worthy tribute. For now.
