Pete's Expert Summary
My Human, in a fit of what can only be described as misguided generosity, has presented me with a "playset" from a brand named EOIVSH. It's a collection of small, plastic effigies of creatures one normally sees on the television box—lizards, snakes, and other cold-blooded undesirables. Their small size, from about one to three inches, makes them theoretically perfect for a swift-pawed ambush and subsequent relocation under the nearest piece of heavy furniture. The "lifelike textures" might offer a decent mouthfeel, though I suspect the "durable plastic" will lack the satisfying give of true prey. However, their primary marketing as "cake toppers" and "educational tools" for tiny humans fills me with a profound sense of foreboding. Are they worthy adversaries, or just decorative, inedible clutter? The jury is still out, but my nap schedule is already being disrupted.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The Dame—my Human—cracked open the plastic case like a cheap safe, spilling the contents onto the Persian rug. A lineup. A motley crew of low-lifes if I ever saw one. A couple of gators with fixed, glassy stares; some shifty-eyed lizards; a coiled cobra who looked like he’d sell his own mother for a warm rock. She called them "toys." I called them a dozen new problems. I let out a low, cynical sigh and stretched, extending my claws just enough to show I meant business. This was my territory, and these plastic grifters were trespassing. My investigation began with a slow, deliberate patrol around the perimeter. I lowered my head, my white ascot nearly brushing the floor, and sniffed at a garish-looking frog. It smelled of nothing but the factory it was born in. Pathetic. I nudged the tortoise with my nose; it didn't even have the decency to retract into its shell. A fraud. My attention was drawn to a Komodo Dragon, its detailed scales and slightly open maw a mockery of the real thing. I gave it a tentative pat with my paw. It skittered across the hardwood, making a hollow, unsatisfying clatter. No heft. All flash, no substance. This was an open-and-shut case of shoddy craftsmanship. I was about to dismiss them all and retreat to the velvet armchair for a restorative nap when I decided to take one in for questioning. I snatched the Komodo Dragon in my jaws. The "lifelike texture" was a lie—a hard, unyielding counterfeit of real scales, but its size... its size was perfect. It wasn't prey. It was a message. I trotted over to the gap beneath the heaviest bookshelf in the living room, a dark abyss where lost things go to be forgotten. With a flick of my head, I sent the dragon into the shadows. He was gone. Vanished without a trace. The Dame would look for him later, probably on her hands and knees, calling his name as if he'd answer. But he wouldn't. He was my secret now. The rest of the gang still lay on the rug, but I knew their fate. Over the next few days, one by one, they would all disappear. The cobra under the stove, the gator behind the drapes, the frog in a shoe. They weren't toys to be played with. They were evidence to be hidden. A long-term project. And for a cat of my intellect, a project is infinitely more stimulating than a simple game. The EOIVSH crew wasn't much for a fight, but they’d do just fine for a conspiracy.
