Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented for my inspection a box of plastic refuse from a company called Sillbird. Apparently, the smaller, louder human is meant to assemble these bits into one of twelve different "robots" powered by the sun. I, of course, am also solar-powered, absorbing its glorious warmth for my mandatory 18 hours of napping. The idea of a small, twitching creature skittering through my personal sunbeams is... intriguing. While the clumsy assembly process will surely be a tedious spectacle, the final product, a jerky, sun-worshipping automaton, might offer a brief diversion from my otherwise packed schedule of sleeping, eating, and judging. It could be a worthy adversary for a pounce or two, or it could just be another piece of junk destined to be batted under the furniture.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The case landed on my rug on a Tuesday. A box, garish and loud, proclaiming the arrival of a "Sillbird." My informant, the Tall Human, presented it to the Small Human, who spilled its guts all over my favorite napping spot. The scene was a mess: hundreds of tiny plastic limbs and gears, a wiring diagram that looked like a map of a city I had no intention of visiting, and a single, glassy eye—a solar panel. My initial assessment: cheap, foreign junk. I watched from my perch on the armchair, tail twitching in annoyance, as the two of them spent hours clicking the pieces together, their clumsy paws fumbling with what the box promised were "clear instructions." They called their creation "Row-Bot." It was an abomination of blue and white plastic, with two ridiculous oars sticking out of its sides. They set it on the floor, but it remained lifeless, a plastic corpse. The Small Human was disappointed. I was not. Case closed, I figured. But then the Tall Human, not as dim as she appears, carried the thing to the sliding glass door, placing it directly in the most potent sunbeam in the entire house. My sunbeam. It was a declaration of war. I narrowed my eyes, my gray fur bristling slightly. This was no accident; this was a deliberate incursion into my territory. Slowly, a shudder ran through the Row-Bot. Its little plastic gears began to whir, a sound like a trapped beetle. The oars began to move, a pathetic, back-and-forth scraping against the hardwood floor. It wasn't rowing; it was just... twitching. It lurched forward an inch, then another, a mindless automaton powered by the same celestial body that I, a being of superior design, use for achieving the perfect nap. It was an insult to the sun itself. I crept closer, belly low to the ground, my white paws silent on the floorboards. This wasn't a toy. This was a suspect. I shadowed the Row-Bot for the better part of an hour. Its movements were predictable, its path dictated by the shifting angle of the light. It had no cunning, no strategy, no soul. It was a puppet whose strings were pulled by a star millions of miles away. My initial investigation was complete. Verdict: not a threat, but an annoyance. It was too clumsy to be prey, too fragile to be a sparring partner. I rendered my final judgment with a single, perfectly aimed swat, sending the ridiculous contraption skittering into the shadows under the credenza. The case of the sun-powered stooge was closed. For now. Let it gather dust with the others.
