Pete's Toy Box: Pool

Jasonwell Foldable Dog Pet Bath Pool Collapsible Dog Pet Pool Bathing Tub Kiddie Pool Doggie Wading Pool for Puppy Small Medium Large Dogs Cats and Kids 63" Blue

By: Jasonwell

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to believe my life is lacking in large, blue, water-filled receptacles designed for creatures of significantly lower intelligence. They present this "Jasonwell Foldable Dog Pet Bath Pool," a name that is an affront on at least three levels. It's an enormous, collapsible tub made of that durable PVC material one usually finds in items meant to withstand chewing and other brutish behaviors. Its main features are portability (as if I'd want this horror to travel with me), a simple drain, and a slip-resistant bottom. While the sheer scale is impressive in a garish sort of way, its primary purpose is to contain water for "bathing" or "wading." This is a fundamental misunderstanding of my entire existence. It is, in essence, a portable ocean of misery, and I suspect its only redeeming quality will be one I discover myself, entirely by accident.

Key Features

  • Portable: foldable, easy to store and bring with you and your dog everywhere
  • Simple: No need of inflation,set up in no time. With bottom/side drain, easy to drain and refresh water
  • Slip Resistant & Durable: made of extra-tough PVC. Thicker slip resistant material on the bottom
  • Size: Available in 5 Sizes.S---32" x 8", M---39.5" x 12", L---48" x 12", XL---55.1" x 12", XXL---63" x 12"
  • Enviromentally friendly material: EN71,ASTM standard. Please Trim your dogs' nails before using the pool.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The Unfurling was an event in itself. My human, with the strained enthusiasm of a court jester trying to amuse a skeptical king, dragged the offensively large blue object onto the back lawn. It blossomed with a series of loud, plastic sighs, a great, gaping vinyl crater in the middle of my perfectly manicured grass. I watched from the window, my gray fur bristling slightly beneath my pristine white bib. They had the audacity to begin filling it with the hose, the gushing sound an assault on my delicate ears. This was, I deduced, an assassination attempt. A very large, very blue, very wet assassination attempt. They tried to lure me, of course. A few floating toys were tossed onto the surface, bobbing pathetically on the ripples. My human made encouraging chirps, pointing at the water as if I were a simpleton who had never before encountered a liquid. I simply narrowed my eyes. They mistook my silent, calculated judgment for disinterest, and after a while, they gave up. With a great sigh of their own, they pulled the little plug on the side and let the water drain away, leaving the giant blue carcass to dry in the sun. I did not move from my post until I was certain the threat had been neutralized. It was dusk when my curiosity finally overpowered my contempt. I padded silently across the cool grass to the discarded structure. It was no longer a terrifying abyss of water, but a collapsed landscape of hills and valleys. The PVC material, which had looked so cheap and uninviting, was now a cool, smooth surface under my paws, a welcome respite from the day's heat. I leapt onto the rim, my weight causing the walls to sag and shift, creating new shapes. I was no longer an observer; I was a god, reshaping the world with a single step. I stalked through the folds, a predator in a strange, blue canyon. It was a labyrinth of my own making. I found a deep crease near the center, a hidden, high-walled den shielded from the wind and the prying eyes of squirrels. The slip-resistant texture on the floor was surprisingly pleasant to knead. This was not a bath. It was not a pool. It was a fortress of solitude. A summer palace. A magnificent, sprawling, post-modern napping structure of the highest quality. I curled into a perfect circle, closed my eyes, and declared the human's failure an overwhelming success. The pool was terrible; the fort was divine.

Inflatable Pool with Seat and Pool Lights, Durable Thickened Large Size Family Inflatable Pools for Adults Blow Up Pools,100" x 63" x 22"Swimming Inflatable Kids PooI for Backyard,Outdoor (White)

By: FizZeal

Pete's Expert Summary

So, the Tall Ones have acquired a colossal, flimsy-looking basin from a brand named "FizZeal," a name that sounds suspiciously like a cheap, sugary beverage. They intend to fill this... *thing*... with water and splash around in it like overgrown kittens. The promises are grand: lights that change color for "night swims" (as if the dark isn't interesting enough on its own), a built-in seat for their lounging pleasure, and patterns that mimic the ocean. The lights are a mild curiosity; I do enjoy watching shifting colors. The seat, however, is a potential observation deck, provided I don't have to suffer the indignity of getting damp to use it. Ultimately, it seems to be a tremendous, high-effort contraption designed for generating noise and laundry, a monument to human summer silliness that will likely be more interesting to watch than to participate in.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The thing arrived in a box, a pale, defeated-looking vinyl husk. My human, with the misplaced enthusiasm of a puppy, dragged it onto the lawn and attached a screaming machine to its side. Slowly, grotesquely, the white beast inflated, its walls rising like the flesh of some forgotten leviathan. It smelled of plastic and broken promises. I watched from the cool slate of the patio, my tail a metronome of disdain. This was an affront, a cheap, synthetic blight upon my perfectly curated territory. They filled it with water, a process that took an eternity, during which I took a respectable nap. When I awoke, the beast was no longer a dull white but a shimmering cerulean, its floor printed with what the humans called "water ripples." A cheap trick. I have seen real water in my bowl; it does not require printed instructions to ripple. The small, loud humans arrived soon after, their shrieks echoing as they threw themselves into the beast's belly. I retired to the windowsill, judging them from a superior altitude and a far superior state of dryness. It was not until dusk that the object revealed its true purpose. My human returned to the now-still pool and tossed two small, disc-like objects into the water. And then it happened. A soft, ethereal glow bloomed from the depths, shifting from a spectral blue to a deep, ominous red, then to a verdant, otherworldly green. The printed ripples on the floor now seemed to move, animated by the shifting hues. The water was no longer just water; it was a liquid cosmos, a captured nebula. The humans, sitting on the built-in throne with their cold drinks, merely grunted in appreciation, blind to the spectacle's true meaning. They saw a toy. I saw a message. This was no mere pool; it was a summoning circle. The changing lights were a coded beacon, a silent call sent out into the vast, dark universe. For what, I could not say. A celestial entity? A cosmic moth? I hopped down from my perch and assumed a new position on the warm patio chair, a silent, tuxedo-clad sentinel. This FizZeal contraption was far more than a backyard diversion. It was a cosmic switchboard, and it was now my solemn duty to observe it, to be the first to greet whatever answered the call. The humans could have their splashing. I had a vigil to keep.

INTEX Swim Center Inflatable Family Lounge Pool: Built-In Bench – Cup Holder – 156 Gallon Capacity – 90" x 86" x 31" – Blue

By: Intex

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a fit of what I can only assume was heat-induced delirium, has acquired a giant, inflatable blue monstrosity. They call it a "Family Lounge Pool." I call it a potential drowning hazard and a flagrant waste of perfectly good lawn space. According to the propaganda, this vinyl basin is for "splashing," "playing," and fostering "unforgettable summer moments," which is human-speak for "loud, wet chaos that will disrupt my napping schedule." While the 156-gallon capacity of water is an absolute non-starter, I must admit a certain professional curiosity about the "built-in bench." It seems to offer a comfortable, elevated perch from which to survey my domain. The dual cupholders are a nice thought, though my staff seems to forget they are far better suited for holding my crunchy treats than their foul-smelling cold beverages. Ultimately, its value is entirely dependent on whether it remains an empty, sun-warmed throne or is filled with the Great Wet Enemy.

Key Features

  • Inflatable above-ground swimming pool is designed to offer the perfect oasis for friends and family, creating a delightful space where they can splash and play, fostering unforgettable summer moments
  • Built-in bench with a comfortable backrest is thoughtfully designed to provide parents with a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy quality moments in the water, all while keeping a watchful eye
  • Crafted from rugged 13-gauge vinyl, this robust structure is engineered for exceptional durability and longevity, ensuring years of dependable use; Water capacity of 156 gallons
  • Thoughtfully designed with two air chambers, each equipped with a convenient combo valve, ensuring swift and effortless inflation and deflation; Guarantees a hassle-free user experience
  • Pool offers both relaxation and durability, featuring 2 handy cupholders for staying refreshed in the sun, a convenient drain plug, and a repair patch for quick fixes when mishaps happen

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The beast arrived folded in a box, a deceptively small package for the cerulean horror that would soon dominate the yard. My human wrestled with it, spreading the crinkled blue skin across the grass before summoning a roaring demon that breathed life into it. With a deafening hum, the thing swelled, its vinyl walls rising like a slow-motion tidal wave. It was a vessel. A land-locked, absurdly blue ship, and I was immediately skeptical of its seaworthiness. My human, the First Mate, stood back, admiring their handiwork, completely oblivious to the gross violation of naval architecture they had just erected. I approached with the cautious, dignified steps befitting an admiral inspecting a new flagship. I placed a paw on the hull; the 13-gauge vinyl felt sturdy, resilient. It wouldn't be easily capsized by a rogue squirrel or a strong breeze. My inspection led me to a curious feature: an integrated seating platform, a veritable captain's bridge. I leaped aboard. The bench was surprisingly comfortable, the backrest providing excellent support for my regal posture. From this vantage point, I had a commanding view of the entire backyard sector. This "SS Intex," as I mentally christened it, had potential. The First Mate, seeing me in my rightful place, seemed pleased. They even placed their silly can into one of the two integrated ports, which I noted were perfectly sized for a generous serving of kibble. For a moment, there was peace. I was Captain Pete, master of my vessel, surveying my territory from the bridge. I issued a silent command for a bowl of fresh water to be brought to the secondary port, a command that went, as usual, entirely ignored. It was then that the true test of my command began. The First Mate approached, wielding the slithering green serpent they call a garden hose. Treachery. Mutiny. The first drops of water struck the deck with a series of insulting *plinks*. This was not a christening; it was an act of war. The clear, cold enemy began to pool at the bottom of my vessel, its reflective surface mocking my dry, luxurious fur. A captain must know when to make a strategic retreat. With a flick of my tail conveying my profound disappointment, I abandoned ship, leaping gracefully to the safety of the patio. The SS Intex was a magnificent craft, a throne worthy of a king, but its fool of a First Mate was determined to scuttle it. My final verdict: an outstanding piece of outdoor furniture, so long as it remains permanently in dry dock. Let the humans have their puddle; I shall await its inevitable draining, at which point I will reclaim my bridge.

Inflatable Pool with Big Backrest and Seat,Oversized Thickened Large Blow Up Pool for Adults,Inflatable Backyard Pools for Kid and Adult, Durable Swimming Pools Summer Water Party

By: LanBlu

Pete's Expert Summary

My human seems to have acquired a giant, inflatable water trough from a company called LanBlu. They claim its "starry sky pattern" and built-in bench offer a "celestial retreat," which is laughable—true celestial bliss is a sunbeam on a cashmere throw, not a sheet of blue plastic filled with cold, wet misery. It’s designed for multiple clumsy giants and their shrieking spawn to splash about in, disrupting the profound silence required for my seventeen hours of daily meditation. The only vaguely interesting features are the thick, sturdy vinyl, which might present a satisfying challenge to my formidable claws, and the built-in seat, which could, theoretically, serve as a dry, elevated throne from which to pass judgment upon their aquatic buffoonery. Otherwise, it is a monumental waste of perfectly good napping territory.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The day began with the harrowing shriek of the Howling Void-Bringer, the cursed air pump my human reserves for such occasions. I watched from the safety of the window as a crumpled blue hide on the lawn convulsed and swelled, growing into a grotesque, wobbly fortress. Its inner walls were adorned with a cheap imitation of the cosmos, a "starry sky" that offended my nocturnal sensibilities. The Two-Legs, my staff, cheered as they filled it with water. They had captured a nebula and tethered it to my yard. An invasion. I conducted my initial reconnaissance from the tactical high ground of the patio table. The giants, clad in their strange ceremonial garments, submerged themselves in the nebula's core, creating chaotic tidal waves and emitting primitive howls of what they seemed to think was joy. I noted the structure's key features: small, round indentations along the rim—clearly docking ports for smaller craft—and a raised, dry platform integrated into the wall. It was not a bench for lounging; it was a command bridge. I, Admiral Pete of the Gray Tuxedo Fleet, knew I had to seize control before these clumsy colonists ruined its strategic value. Waiting for the giants to retreat for their mid-mission rations, I made my move. A silent drop from the table, a stealthy advance across the grass, and a powerful leap. My paws met the warm, thick vinyl of the fortress wall. It was sturdy, yielding just enough to confirm its alien, air-filled nature. I navigated the perimeter with the practiced grace of a seasoned commander until I reached my objective: the command bridge. It was exactly as I’d assessed—elevated, dry, and offering a panoramic view of the entire captured star-field below. From my new throne, I surveyed my conquest. The water sloshed gently, the plastic stars gleaming up at me. The giants could have their wet, undignified fun in the nebula's core; I had secured the control center. The so-called "cup holders" proved to be excellent storage bays for a particularly crunchy beetle I had subdued earlier in the day. The LanBlu Nebula was a loud and absurd addition to my domain, but its command bridge was undeniably first-rate. The territory, for now, was mine.

2025 Upgraded Inflatable Pool with Canopy, Inflatable Family Lounge Pool, Round Blow Up Pool for Adult with Bench & Backrest, Swim Center Easy Backyard Pools for Kids & Adults, 90"x90"x80", Blue

By: LanBlu

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has procured a colossal, inflatable blue monstrosity from a company called "LanBlu." They call it a "pool." I call it an oversized, communal water dish designed for loud, splashy rituals. From my vantage point, it appears to be a large, vinyl donut with a flimsy fabric hat—a "canopy," they say. While the notion of a dedicated shade provider is not entirely without merit, and the integrated "bench" presents a potentially novel napping platform, the entire premise is fundamentally flawed. It's designed to be filled with water, which is, objectively, the worst. Furthermore, it's meant to contain multiple humans, including the small, shrieking variety. While its thick material might withstand an accidental claw test, its primary function seems to be a source of noise and dampness, two things that severely threaten the sanctity of my afternoon slumber.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The thing arrived on a Tuesday, heralded by the roar of a small, angry machine that huffed and puffed until a great blue beast swelled to life in the center of my lawn. I observed the entire sordid affair from the sunbeam on the living room rug, my tail twitching in silent, rhythmic judgment. The humans, clapping like seals, then committed the ultimate atrocity: they filled it with water. The shrieking and splashing that followed was an affront to civilized life. I turned my back on the scene, convinced this "LanBlu" creation was their worst acquisition to date. But then, night fell. The humans, having drained the beast via a curiously efficient-looking pipe, retreated to their glowing screens indoors. A sliver of moon cast the backyard in shades of silver and deep indigo. Curiosity, that persistent and often troublesome instinct, finally tugged me from my silk cushion. I slipped through the cat flap and padded across the cool grass. In the quiet dark, the object was transformed. It was no longer a vulgar tub. It was a silent, landed craft, an exploratory vessel from another world. The canopy was its cockpit shield, the round walls its hull, the built-in bench its command seat. I leaped aboard with the practiced grace of a seasoned captain. The 0.4mm vinyl was cool and firm under my paws, a surprisingly stable deck. I assumed my position on the command bench, surveying my domain. This was not the backyard. This was Planet Yard-IV, a mysterious world teeming with strange flora and nocturnal life. The chirping of crickets was the chatter of alien fauna. The distant glow of a neighbor's security light was a binary star system on the horizon. The two "cup holders," I decided, were not for holding beverages, but for housing the ship's primary energy crystals, now sadly depleted. A moth fluttered past, its wings catching the moonlight. A scout from a rival faction? I tracked its erratic flight path with narrowed eyes, my whiskers twitching, processing tactical data. A light breeze rustled the leaves of the great maple, the sound of cosmic winds whipping past the hull. I was an explorer, a lone sentinel charting the unknown. For hours, I maintained my vigil from the bridge of my silent, blue starship, the sole master of the night. By the time the first hint of dawn threatened the eastern sky, my verdict was reached. As a "pool," this object is an abomination, a wet, noisy catastrophe. But as the silent, grounded starship *Azure Prime*, my personal observatory for deep-space reconnaissance missions into the nocturnal wilderness? It is an inspired, magnificent acquisition. My human, it seems, has accidentally stumbled upon genius. I shall allow it to remain.

By: StarOcean

Pete's Expert Summary

Ah, yes. My human has presented me with this... *thing*. It appears to be a colossal, inflatable blue basin from a brand called "StarOcean," which is a rather grandiose name for what is essentially a glorified, oversized water bowl. The primary selling point seems to be solar-powered lights that make it glow in the dark. While the prospect of the large, loud humans voluntarily submerging themselves in water is a mild curiosity, the true potential lies in these lights. They could serve as a magnificent lure for the evening's finest selection of moths and other fluttering insects. The thick vinyl might withstand a cursory claw inspection, but the main event—the splashing and shrieking—is an utter waste of my premium napping time. However, its secondary function as a "ball pit" has a certain chaotic appeal.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The day began with an affront. My human, with an air of misplaced excitement, dragged a large, flaccid blue hide into my backyard territory. Then came the noise—the dreadful, wheezing roar of an electric pump, an auditory assault that sent the local robins scattering. From my perch on the deck railing, I watched with narrowed eyes as the blue beast swelled, consuming a significant portion of my prime sunning real estate. It settled into a disturbingly geometric shape, a shimmering, inanimate block of blue that reeked of plastic. For hours, it did nothing but sit there, a silent, vulgar monument to my human's questionable taste. I dismissed it with a flick of my tail and retreated indoors for a more dignified nap. As evening bled across the sky, however, something changed. I was grooming my pristine white chest on the windowsill when a soft, otherworldly glow caught my eye. The blue monstrosity was no longer just blue. It was breathing light. A soft cyan shifted to a deep magenta, then melted into a cool emerald. It wasn't a pool; it was a captured nebula, a fallen piece of the cosmos right there on my lawn. The brand name, 'StarOcean,' suddenly seemed less like a marketing ploy and more like a statement of cosmic origin. My cynicism softened into a profound, almost primal curiosity. I slipped out through the cat flap, my paws silent on the cool flagstones. The air was thick with the scent of night-blooming jasmine and... opportunity. The glowing pool pulsed gently, its light painting strange, moving shadows on the grass. A fat, clumsy june bug, hypnotized by the shifting colors, droned its way toward the spectacle. It buzzed lazily over the water's shimmering surface, a perfect, iridescent target against a canvas of liquid light. This was no longer a human plaything. It was an arena. A hunting ground. With a focus honed by generations of my ancestors, I crept to the edge. The vinyl wall, as noted by the manufacturer, was indeed thick and stable under my weight. I gathered myself, a coiled spring of gray fur and predatory intent. In one fluid, silent motion, I launched. My leap was a perfect arc over the water's edge. I snatched the bumbling insect from mid-air with a single paw, twisted, and landed back on the wide, glowing rim without a single drop of water touching my fur. I crunched down on my prize, the ethereal glow of the StarOcean illuminating my triumphant feast. The humans could have their splashy, noisy fun. They would never understand its true purpose. This celestial vessel was mine now, a beacon for the night's most delicious entertainment. It was, I decided, an acceptable addition to my kingdom.

By: FunBy

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has procured what appears to be a colossal, glorified puddle from a brand called "FunBy." It's a massive, inflatable basin with a canopy, allegedly for the family's "underwater adventure." I see through this ruse. The garish, digitally printed fish on the inside are a tacky attempt to distract from its primary function: holding the Great Forbidden Wetness. Its supposed durability and thick material are noted; this might mean it can withstand a cursory claw inspection without catastrophic failure. However, my primary interest lies not in the aquatic potential, which I find horrifying, but in the promised UPF60+ sun shelter. A large, guaranteed patch of shade, independent of the sun's whims, is a concept I can get behind. The rest is just a noisy, splashy waste of prime napping territory.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It arrived as a great, blue hide, folded and lifeless on the lawn. I watched from the patio, tail twitching, as the male human retrieved a roaring beast from the shed. He plugged a long tube from the beast into a valve on the hide, and a terrible, whining gale began. Slowly, agonizingly, the blue thing began to stir. It shuddered and groaned, swelling with an unnatural life. I saw walls rise, stiffening into three distinct rings, the very structure described in their loud proclamations. A leathery wing—the canopy—was then attached, casting a perfect, dark rectangle of shade on the grass beside it. A new territory had been born. My initial investigation was cautious. I crept towards the behemoth, my soft paws silent on the blades of grass. The air around it smelled of plastic and sun. Reaching a wall, I extended a single, perfect claw and gave it a testing *prick*. The skin was firm, yielding but not breaking. Impressive. This "reinforced composite PVC" was not the flimsy material of lesser toys. I leaped, landing silently on the wide, uppermost ring. From this vantage point, I was a king surveying his new ramparts. Below me lay a valley of blue, populated by poorly rendered imitations of fish, creatures I much prefer to encounter in my dinner bowl. I patrolled the perimeter, a gray-and-white warden on his watch. The structure was sound. Bouncy, even. The sun beat down, but I could easily retreat to the cool, dark promise of the canopy's shadow whenever I pleased. This was an acceptable addition to my kingdom. A fortress. A raised promenade. An observation deck of the highest quality. I settled onto a sun-warmed corner of the rim, closed my eyes, and began a low, rumbling purr of approval. Then came the hissing serpent. The human dragged the long, green garden hose over and, to my absolute horror, began filling my magnificent blue fortress with water. The treachery! The printed fish were submerged, the bouncy floor vanished beneath a shimmering, encroaching tide of my sworn enemy. I shot off the wall in a flash of gray fur, retreating to the safety of the patio. The structure itself is a marvel, a bastion of fine engineering. But its intended purpose is a wet, noisy, splash-filled tragedy. I will, however, be commandeering the shade provided by its canopy. It's the only civilized part of the whole affair.

By: SELLOTZ

Pete's Expert Summary

So, the Human has acquired what they are calling a 'family swimming pool' from some unheard-of manufacturer named SELLOTZ. It appears to be a monstrously large, inflatable blue rectangle destined to occupy a significant portion of *my* backyard. They tout its durability and size, supposedly to contain several small, shrieking humans and a vast quantity of sloshing water. While the thought of this giant, wet mess is appalling, I must admit the thick, sun-warmed vinyl walls could present a rather novel, elevated perimeter for surveying my domain. Still, it seems like a tremendous amount of effort for what is essentially a temporary, and likely leaky, pond.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The monstrosity arrived not with a splash, but with a high-pitched, demonic whine. The Human had plugged a strange nozzle into the flank of a great, folded blue skin laid across my living room floor, and for four excruciating minutes, the beast grew. It wasn't merely getting bigger; it was inhaling the very air of the room, swelling into a canyon of vinyl that bisected the path to my favorite sunbeam. I watched from the safety of the armchair, my tail twitching in profound irritation. A "pool," they'd called it. I saw only a flimsy, oversized trough, reeking of plastic and destined for failure. Once the infernal pump was silenced, an unnerving quiet fell. The blue thing just sat there, a silent, hollow behemoth. Its sheer audacity intrigued me. I leaped from the chair, landing silently on the rug, and padded forward. The walls were arranged in three distinct, puffy tiers—the "individual air chambers," I presumed. I gave the lowest one a tentative pat with my paw. It yielded slightly, a firm but gentle surface. I stalked its perimeter, my tuxedo-white paws stark against the deep blue. This was no mere container; it was a fortress. I leaped gracefully onto the top tier, my new vantage point offering a commanding view of the entire living room. From my perch, I peered down into the empty expanse. It was a void. A blue desert. Curious, I let out a soft "mrrrow?" The sound was… different. It didn't dissipate into the room but seemed to roll around the vinyl basin below, amplified and slightly distorted. It was fascinating. My own voice, but changed, made important. I hopped down into the center of the pool, my paws cool on the smooth floor. The world was now framed in blue. My purr, when I let it rumble forth, seemed to vibrate through the very structure, a resonant hum that was both calming and powerful. This was not a pool. The humans, in their simple, water-obsessed minds, had missed its true purpose entirely. This was a sanctuary. A resonance chamber. An oracle's retreat where one could contemplate the deeper mysteries, such as the precise trajectory of the red dot or the hidden location of the emergency treat bag. When the Human returned, intending to haul my new temple outside and defile it with water, I refused to move. I gave them a look of profound wisdom and ownership. They could have the backyard. This sacred blue space was mine.
