TaoBary 24 Pieces Sports Party Favor Bags Soccer Baseball Goodie Gift Bag with Handles for Football Basketball Baseball Sports Birthday Baby Shower Party Supplies Decoration

By: TaoBary

Pete's Expert Summary

My human appears to have acquired a collection of paper containers from a brand called TaoBary. These are not for me, but rather for the small, loud humans she sometimes allows to infest my domain. They are essentially paper sacks decorated with garish spheres—what the humans call "sports balls"—and are intended to hold cheap trinkets and sugary poisons as parting gifts after some chaotic ritual they call a "party." While the concept is utterly beneath me, the physical object itself presents some possibilities. The paper material promises a satisfying crinkle, and the size seems just large enough to serve as a temporary ambush location. It’s a delivery vessel for disappointment, but the vessel itself might be a fleeting distraction from an otherwise perfectly scheduled nap.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The cacophony had finally ceased. The shrieking horde of tiny humans, with their sticky hands and baffling lack of decorum, had been herded out the door, leaving behind a battlefield of cake crumbs and discarded ribbons. My human was sighing, a sound I know well, as she began the great cleanup. It was in this moment of quiet Armageddon that I spotted it: a lone survivor, a paper bag standing upright near the sofa. It was one of the party relics, emblazoned with bright, meaningless orbs of orange and black-and-white. It was a monument to mediocrity, and I was compelled to investigate. I approached with the silent, measured tread befitting a creature of my station. The bag was, I had to admit, constructed of a rather sturdy paper. It didn't crumple immediately when I prodded it with my nose. The handle, a simple loop of twisted paper, withstood a tentative pat from my paw. This TaoBary brand, while catering to tasteless events, at least understood basic structural integrity. A faint, sweet smell of sugar and disappointment emanated from its opening. With a decisive nudge of my head, I tipped it over, spilling its pathetic contents: a half-sucked lollipop stuck to its own wrapper and a small plastic noisemaker I recognized as an instrument of pure evil. Ignoring the detritus, I turned my attention back to the bag itself. It lay on its side, an empty vessel, a cave of possibility. It was, as the specifications must have noted, a "proper size." I poked my head inside. The world became a muffled, papery cavern, smelling faintly of the forest from which it was so rudely harvested. It was dark, private, and perfect. With a wiggle and a squirm, I managed to cram my entire, luxurious form inside. From my new fortress, I could peer out at the world, a gray shadow in a sports-themed hideout. My human, busy with her cleaning, was oblivious to my conquest. Let her think these bags were for children's parties. I had discovered its true purpose. It was not a "goodie bag"; it was a tactical assault vehicle, an ambush point, a temporary throne from which to survey my kingdom. The product was intended for the simple, but it had been claimed by the sophisticated. It was, for the moment, worthy.

16 Pieces Sport Party Favors Sports Themed Gift Bags for Kids Ball Candy Goodie Paper Bags Football Soccer Baseball Basketball Printed for Birthday Party Decorations

By: Funrous

Pete's Expert Summary

My Human has, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, acquired a collection of what they call 'gift bags.' From my vantage point on the sun-drenched chaise, they appear to be simple paper satchels, garishly decorated with spheres of various human sports—a blatant pandering to the unrefined tastes of small, loud bipeds. The brand, 'Funrous,' sounds suspiciously like a disease. While the primary function seems to be containing cheap trinkets and sugary things I'm not allowed to have, I must concede a certain potential. The crinkle of kraft paper is a siren's call, and their boxy structure, while too small for a proper nap, might offer a satisfyingly brief moment of confinement or a decent target for a pounce-and-shred maneuver. Ultimately, though, it's just a decorated container, a profound waste unless it happens to be filled with high-grade tuna.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The artifact was placed on the floor, an offering of sorts. It was a paper vessel, stark white and brown, printed with the likeness of some stitched, oblong thing humans obsessively throw. The Provider called it a "football bag," then left the room, clearly expecting me to be impressed. I was not. I observed it from across the room, my tail giving a slow, contemptuous flick. It was an inanimate block, an insult to the dynamic, living prey I dream of. For ten minutes, I pretended it didn't exist, a simple but effective psychological tactic. Eventually, the silence became its own kind of provocation. I rose, stretched with a luxurious arch of my spine, and sauntered over. A perfunctory sniff confirmed my initial assessment: it smelled of bleached pulp and cheap ink, nothing more. I nudged it with my nose. It skittered away, emitting a dry, rustling sound that plucked a primal string deep within my soul. The sound was… intriguing. It was the sound of a dry leaf skittering from a pounce, the sound of hidden things. My skepticism began to waver, replaced by a hunter’s curiosity. The investigation escalated. A gentle pat became a full-force slap, sending the bag tumbling end over end. It was surprisingly resilient, this "reliable material" they spoke of. It refused to tear, instead collapsing and re-inflating with each assault. I attacked the handles, flimsy paper ropes that surrendered easily to my teeth. With the structural integrity compromised, I shoved my head inside, plunging myself into a dark, muffled world that amplified my own breathing. The bag was no longer a bag; it was a cave, a tunnel, an adversary that crackled and yielded with every push. I emerged, leaving the bag a mangled wreck of its former self. It was, I concluded, a failure as a container, an aesthetic disaster, and an object of questionable purpose. However, as a ten-minute agent of chaos, a disposable foe that required absolutely no long-term commitment and provided a symphony of crinkling destruction, it was sublime. It was utterly unworthy of being a permanent fixture in my life, but as a fleeting diversion? I would permit its existence. For now.

Locmeo 24 Pcs Sports Party Favor Bags with Handles Reusable Non Woven Sports Goodie Bags Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Football Candy Treat Gift Bag for Girl Boy Birthday Baby Shower, 8 x 4 x 10 Inch

By: Locmeo

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has procured a collection of what appear to be brightly colored sacks. This particular assortment from a purveyor named Locmeo is apparently intended for small, loud humans to transport their trivial treasures after their ritualistic gatherings. From my perspective, the key feature is the "non-woven" material, which promises a satisfying, low-decibel crinkle without the startling crackle of cheap plastic. Their size seems adequate, perhaps offering a temporary fortress or an ideal ambush point from which to launch a surprise attack on a passing ankle. While the printed spheres are a complete bore—why are they so obsessed with these round things?—the potential for a rustling, multi-bag hideout is intriguing. It’s certainly a step up from an empty cardboard box, though whether it will hold my attention longer than the sunbeam on the rug remains to be seen.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The initial presentation was, to put it mildly, an insult. The human unpacked a flat plastic wrapper to reveal a stack of floppy, garishly decorated bags. My refined sensibilities were assaulted by loud oranges, stark whites, and muddy browns pretending to be "footballs" and "basketballs." I gave the pile a cursory sniff, flicked my tail in profound disappointment, and immediately retired to the top of the bookshelf to groom my pristine white chest fur and pointedly ignore the offense. It was clearly not for me. It was human clutter, destined to be filled with sugary things and then discarded. Later that evening, a draft from the floor vent caught the edge of the pile. One bag, the one with the soccer ball pattern, slid free and puffed open. It didn't make the sharp, alarming *crackle* of a grocery bag, but a soft, textured *shhhhffff-crinkle* that resonated deep in my ears. It was the sound of opportunity. I descended from my perch with the deliberate grace of a predator investigating a strange new prey. I nudged it with my nose. The non-woven fabric was sturdy, not papery. I poked a paw at one of the handles, which swung with a pleasing weight. This was not a mere bag. This was a structure. Inspiration, a force as potent and unpredictable as a can of tuna being opened, struck me. I was not merely a cat; I was an architect of chaos, a sculptor of sound. I began my work. I hooked a claw into a handle and dragged the "baseball" bag across the hardwood, its rustling a percussive beat against the floor's silence. I shoved another bag into it, creating a nested enclosure. I systematically tipped the entire stack, creating a glorious, sprawling labyrinth across the living room rug. I was building a city. A rustling, crinkling metropolis of my own design. My masterpiece was complete. A sprawling installation of what the humans would call a "mess." I surveyed my kingdom from the arm of the sofa before selecting the perfect domicile—the basketball bag, for its vibrant color. I slipped inside. The world outside was muted, the sounds of the house filtered through the fabric. It was dark, secure, and held my scent perfectly. It was more than a bag; it was a sensory deprivation chamber with excellent acoustics. Let the humans have their parties and their candies. Locmeo had unwittingly supplied the raw materials for my magnum opus. This was a worthy acquisition. I curled into a ball and began a rumbling purr of profound artistic and personal satisfaction.

Basketball Bag - Large Mesh Ball Bag for Basketballs, Soccer Ball Bag, Volleyball Ball Bag & Sports Equipment | Heavy Duty Mesh Bag, Ball Storage Net with Strap, Bag for Equipment Keeble Outlets

By: キーブル アウトレッツ

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has acquired what they call a "Keeble Outlets Heavy Duty Mesh Bag." From my superior vantage point on the sofa, I see it for what it truly is: a large, black, netted containment vessel. Its purported use is for corralling their absurdly large and bouncy spheres, a task I suppose is necessary given their lack of coordination. However, its true potential lies in its feline applications. The "rugged fine nylon mesh" seems an ideal texture for a thorough claw-sharpening session, and its ability to "breathe and dry out" suggests a superior, non-stinky napping chamber, far better than a stuffy cardboard box. While I have no interest in its intended cargo, the dangling drawstring and climbable exterior present a mild, fleeting diversion.

Key Features

  • HEAVY DUTY & EXTRA TOUGH FOR EVERYWHERE-- The mesh bags Constructed from 600D polyester and rugged fine nylon mesh that Design withstand the rugged condition of the field, The large weave mesh allows damp towels to breathe and dry out without getting sour-stinky. it suspended in air from a basement ceiling joist where the bags get air flow so they don't pick up any musty odors and they are out of reach of mice and bugs.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The monolith arrived on a Tuesday. The human dragged the black, cylindrical void into my living room, muttering about "team practice." It smelled of plastic and industry, an unwelcome scent in my finely curated atmosphere. They left it standing in the corner, a dark tower of netting that seemed to absorb the light around it. I watched from beneath the coffee table, tail twitching, as it did nothing. It simply stood, a silent, ominous presence from the strange land of "Keeble Outlets." My initial assessment: a deeply suspicious and aesthetically displeasing piece of clutter. Later, the human performed a strange ritual. They took the Great Orange Enemy—the giant, bouncy sphere that has long mocked my attempts at capture—and unceremoniously shoved it into the monolith's gaping maw. With a pull of a dangling cord, the top of the vessel cinched shut, imprisoning the beast. My ears perked. A prison? For *that* thing? The sphere, now visible but untouchable through the diamond-patterned mesh, was neutralized. Contained. Powerless. The monolith, I realized, was not just an object; it was a warden. Under the cloak of night, I initiated my investigation. I circled the structure, my paws silent on the hardwood floor. The "heavy duty" material was as advertised; it offered a deeply satisfying resistance when I hooked a claw into its side for a test scratch. The mesh was too coarse for a comfortable cheek-rub, a design flaw, but it provided an excellent grip for climbing. I scaled a few inches up its side, a miniature mountaineer conquering a strange, fabric peak. From this new, slightly elevated position, I could stare directly into the soul of the captured Orange Enemy. It could not bounce. It could not roll away. It could only sit there, defeated. My final verdict came as I dropped back to the floor and gave the drawstring a perfunctory bat. It wiggled sufficiently. This object is no toy. It is a crude but effective containment field, a vertical scratching post, and an observation tower from which to gloat over a vanquished foe. It has brought a new, satisfying order to my world. The monolith can stay.

By: BANBALLON

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in a fit of what I can only assume is preparation for some deafening ritual involving small, loud offspring, has acquired a truly absurd quantity of plastic trinkets from a company called BANBALLON. It appears to be a "party favor" set, a concept I find utterly baffling. It's a jumble of tiny, ball-themed baubles: keychains, necklaces, stickers, and other such nonsense, all stuffed into crinkly bags. From my perspective, it's a mountain of potential choking hazards and future dust-catchers destined to live under the sofa. The only items of remote interest are the small, foam-like ball keychains, which might possess a satisfying bounce, and the crinkly bags themselves. The rest is a colorful, chaotic waste of my valuable observational energy.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

It did not arrive like a toy. It arrived like a colony. The Human, with her usual lack of subtlety, tore open a large plastic sheath, and from it poured a silent, multi-colored tide of miniature worlds. There were dozens of them, a plague of spheres. Tiny, pocked basketballs, stitched footballs, and paneled soccer balls, all dangling from cheap metal chains. They were accompanied by hard, sterile discs meant for pinning, flimsy loops of string, and sheets of sticky paper that I knew from bitter experience would only serve to get stuck to my pristine fur. This wasn't a gift; it was an infestation. I observed from my perch on the armchair, tail twitching in profound disapproval. The Human began sorting the deluge into smaller, crinkling white sacs. A ritual, I surmised. A preparation for some grim occasion. I descended from my throne, my paws silent on the hardwood floor, and approached the scattered horde. They smelled of industry and faint, chemical sweetness. I nudged a tiny, ridged football with my nose. It was hard, unyielding, and utterly without personality. A plastic bracelet slithered past my paw; I gave it a look of withering contempt. This was not play. This was clutter. Then, my eye caught one of the keychains—a miniature basketball—that had rolled away from the main group, resting alone near the leg of the coffee table. This one, I decided, would be the tribute. It would stand for its entire, pathetic tribe. I approached it not with the frenzied glee of a kitten, but with the solemnity of an executioner. I extended a single, perfect paw, claws sheathed, and tapped it. It rolled, yes, but with a light, unsatisfying hollowness. I batted it more firmly. It skittered across the floor, its little chain jingling like a sad, tiny bell. I stalked it, cornered it against the wall, and finally, took it gently into my mouth. The texture was wrong. It was a dense foam, but it lacked the gratifying resistance of a proper mouse or the lively spring of a quality wool ball. It was a mockery of a toy, a soulless sphere designed for fleeting amusement and inevitable loss. I dropped it in disgust. Let the small humans have their trinkets. I would not dignify this mass-produced garbage with a proper hunt. I turned, leaped back onto my chair, and began pointedly grooming a single stray whisker, having already forgotten the entire sad affair.

By: Panelee

Pete's Expert Summary

It appears my human has presented me with a bulk assortment of trinkets, clearly intended for a litter of small, noisy humans at one of their cacophonous "parties." This "Panelee" brand, which sounds suspiciously like a poorly chosen password, has bundled together flimsy polyester sacks, utterly useless charm bracelets, and a collection of miniature foam sports balls. While the sacks and bracelets are an affront to good taste and an utter waste of my attention, I must confess a flicker of interest in the 1.2-inch foam spheres. Their size and material suggest they might possess a satisfyingly silent skitter-and-bounce potential across the hardwood floors, a potential that might just barely redeem this otherwise pathetic collection of party flotsam.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The offering arrived not in a bespoke box, but in a crinkly, transparent sack, a vessel of such tackiness that I felt a deep, ancestral embarrassment for my human. She placed it on the kitchen counter, a shrine to poor taste. From my observation post atop the refrigerator, I watched her pull out the contents: gaudy, adjustable bracelets I wouldn't even use to torture the dog, and several polyester bags printed with the crude icons of human sport-rituals. It was a tableau of mass-produced mediocrity, and I was about to dismiss the entire affair and commence a pre-nap bath when I saw them. Nestled amongst the dross were the true relics: a multitude of small, pockmarked spheres. I feigned disinterest for the rest of the afternoon, a crucial step in maintaining the upper paw. But once darkness fell and the house settled into its nightly silence, I descended. I moved like a gray shadow across the cool tile, my white tuxedo gleaming faintly in the moonlight filtering through the window. I bypassed the pile of discarded junk, my nose wrinkling at the synthetic smell of the polyester. My target was singular. A small, orange sphere, textured like a miniature basketball, had rolled under the edge of a cabinet. It was an idol, fallen from its profane altar. With the cautious grace of a bomb disposal expert, I extended a single, white-tipped paw. I gave the orb a tentative tap. It didn't make a sound. Instead, it shot away, skidding silently across the floor and ricocheting off the baseboard with a surprising, chaotic energy. My hunter’s instinct, long dormant during a day of rigorous napping, flared to life. This was no clumsy, loud-rattling mouse. This was a worthy phantom, a silent and unpredictable quarry. The chase was on. I stalked it, pounced, and sent it flying again, a delightful, private ballet of predator and prey. After a solid ten minutes of exhilarating pursuit, I finally trapped the little foam ball beneath my paw. It yielded with a soft squish, a satisfying surrender. I picked it up gently in my mouth—it was feather-light and tasted faintly of dust and victory. I had sifted through the garbage and found the gem. This one foam ball, I decreed, was worthy. I carried my prize to my lair beneath the human’s bed, a trophy to be added to my collection of bottle caps and stolen hair ties, leaving the rest of the Panelee party favors to their pathetic, forgotten fate on the kitchen floor.

By: Talltalk

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in her infinite and baffling wisdom, has presented me with what appears to be the detritus of a child's public humiliation ritual, otherwise known as a "party." This "Talltalk" brand has bundled together a collection of crude, soccer-themed trinkets: a flimsy polyester sack with two delightfully chewable strings, a rubbery loop that smells of a factory in a land I'll never visit, and a small, hard acrylic disc attached to a jingly bit of metal. The intended purpose—to appease a hoard of screaming, miniature humans—is utterly lost on me. However, if one were to deconstruct the "set," the individual components hold a glimmer of potential. The strings on the bag are a classic, and the hard plastic disc could, if struck with sufficient force, skitter across the hardwood in a most satisfying manner. The rest is simply a waste of my valuable napping time.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The offerings were laid out on the rug like a sacrifice to some forgotten, low-budget god of sport. My human, vibrating with an unnatural level of excitement about a televised event involving grown men chasing a ball, gestured toward the pile. "Pete, my furry oracle," she cooed, "show me the signs. What's the prediction for the big game?" I blinked slowly, conveying my profound disinterest. She had laid out one of each item: the sack, the rubbery wristband, and the keychain. I approached with the cautious dignity befitting my station. The drawstring bag was my first subject. Its thin polyester fabric held no appeal, but the strings… ah, the strings. They dangled with a simple, elegant promise of entanglement. I gave one a tentative pat, then a more purposeful tug with a single, extended claw. It resisted slightly. My human gasped. "A tight defense! They're going to pull them back! Oh, you're brilliant!" I, of course, had simply been testing the tensile strength of a potential future toy. Next, the rubbery circle. I sniffed it. It had the sterile, uninviting scent of something that has never been alive. I nudged it with my nose. It rolled a pathetic two inches and stopped. In a flash of mild irritation, I pinned it with a paw and gave it a solid flick. It flew through the air, wobbling unimpressively before landing with a soft *plop* several feet away, well wide of the armchair she called the "goal." My human groaned in theatrical agony. "A missed opportunity! A shot gone wide! You see everything, don't you?" Finally, I inspected the keychain. It was a small, hard acrylic disc with a crude soccer ball pattern. This was different. This had substance. I gave it a firm, decisive *thwack* with my paw. It shot across the hardwood floor with a glorious, staccato *skitter-skitter-clack* before sliding perfectly under the television stand. My human leaped to her feet. "YES! A GOAL! A perfect shot, low into the corner! Pete, you're a genius!" She scooped me up, lavishing me with praise and chin scratches. I tolerated the adulation, purring not for her foolish interpretations, but for the discovery of a truly excellent skitter-toy. The prophecy was rubbish, but the prophet had found his prize. The keychain was worthy.

Franklin Sports 5" x 5" Nylon Bean Bags (Set of 12) - Perfect for use in schools

By: Franklin Sports

Pete's Expert Summary

My human has presented me with a dozen brightly colored nylon squares filled with what I can only assume are fossilized kibble. They come from a brand called "Franklin Sports," which sounds dreadfully utilitarian and devoid of any understanding of the feline arts of pounce and disembowelment. The nylon fabric suggests a disappointing lack of shred-ability, and the sheer heft of each sack implies they are meant for clumsy, heavy-handed throwing by small humans, not for the delicate, surgical batting of a refined gentleman like myself. The variety of colors is a minor, almost insulting, concession to aesthetics. Frankly, I suspect they will make a better pillow than a plaything.

Key Features

  • Multiple Use nylon bean bag set
  • Includes (3) Red bags, (3) yellow bags, (3) green bags, and (3) blue bags
  • Size of each bag is 5" x 5"
  • Includes 12 bags total
  • Use for toss and catch, child games and birthday parties

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The box was opened, and the chemical scent of cheap nylon and mass production filled my sensitive nostrils. My human, with the typical lack of ceremony, dumped the twelve squares onto the rug. They lay there in a garish pile: red, yellow, green, blue. A vulgar rainbow of disappointment. I gave a dismissive tail flick and turned my attention to a far more interesting dust bunny under the sofa. "Aren't they great, Pete?" the human cooed, tossing a yellow one near my paws. It landed with a dull, uninspired *thump*. I refused to grant it the dignity of a glance. Later, under the cloak of night, I decided to conduct a more thorough investigation. The house was silent, my human’s gentle snores providing a rhythmic backdrop. I approached the pile, my gray tuxedo immaculate in the moonlight. I nudged a blue one first. It was heavy, dense. I was reminded of a story my mother once told me, a legend of the "Great Sand," a mystical substance that filled the Sacred Box. Could this be it? Were these twelve pouches filled with sacred, enchanted sand, each color bestowing a different power? The red for courage, the green for stealth, the yellow for... well, for napping in sunbeams, obviously. My cynicism warred with this newfound mythology. I chose a single green pouch—the Verdant Vessel of the Unseen—and gripped it in my teeth. It was awkward, but I was determined. I dragged my prize into the hallway, positioning it directly in the center of the dark runner rug. Then I retreated to the shadows of the living room doorway and waited. This was no toy. This was a test. A lure. What ancient spirit or midnight snack would be drawn to this mysterious offering? For hours I watched, a silent sentinel, my eyes unblinking. Nothing came. No spirits, no mice, not even a particularly brave cockroach. As dawn threatened to break, I padded back to the lone green bag. It was still just a nylon sack. There was no magic, no ancient power. But as I nudged it with my nose, it skittered perfectly across the hardwood floor, its weight giving it a satisfying, substantial slide. It didn't fly; it glided. It wasn't a mouse; it was a turtle, stubborn and slow, a challenge of patience. I spent the next hour pushing it from one end of the hall to the other, a low-stakes, silent game of shuffleboard. They were not enchanted, but they were... acceptable. A passable diversion for a king on a quiet night. Franklin Sports, you have been spared my ultimate judgment, for now.

Pete's Expert Summary

My human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has presented a veritable deluge of tiny, spherical objects. It seems the "WELLVO" brand specializes in quantity over quality, a philosophy I find deeply offensive. This is a 36-pack of miniature foam balls, designed to resemble artifacts from various human athletic pastimes. They are allegedly for "stress relief," a concept I understand only in the context of a perfectly undisturbed nap. Their small, lightweight, and foam-based construction holds some minor potential; they are, I concede, of an ideal size and weight for batting under the heaviest and most inaccessible pieces of furniture. However, their primary purpose as "party favors for kids" suggests a cheapness and lack of durability that will likely prove to be an insult to my finely honed hunting instincts and a waste of my valuable time.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The Warden placed the entire collection on the floor, a garish pile of multi-sport mediocrity. My gaze, however, was drawn to a single object that had rolled away from the pack: a miniature prolate spheroid, stark white with brown accents, meant to imitate something they call a "football." It lay there on the cool hardwood, a silent challenge. I do not play. I assess. I dominate. This was not a toy; it was a test of my sovereignty over this domain. I began my examination with a slow, deliberate approach, my tail giving a single, contemptuous flick. The object smelled of nothing, a void of sensory information, which was itself an affront. I extended a single, impeccably manicured claw and gave it a tentative poke. It yielded with a soft, unsatisfying squish before insolently popping back into its original shape. A lesser feline might be amused. I was intrigued by its defiance. This was not the satisfying crunch of a beetle or the thrilling flutter of a captured moth. This was... resilient. So, I decided to conduct a more rigorous experiment. This was no longer about simple assessment; this was about deconstruction. I pinned the object with one paw and began a series of rapid-fire kicks with my powerful hind legs, a technique I have perfected for dispatching more formidable foes. The tiny football shot across the floor, ricocheting off the leg of a chair with a dull thud. It did not shatter. It did not cry out. It simply came to a rest, waiting. I stalked it, pounced, and this time, took it into my mouth. The foam was dense but pliant, offering a strange resistance to my teeth without the reward of a tear or a rip. After several minutes of this rigorous, scientific battery, I came to a conclusion. The object was indestructible by conventional means, and therefore, uninteresting. The joy of a toy is in its eventual, glorious demise at my paws. This thing offered no such catharsis. It was a sterile, immortal, and ultimately boring entity. I spat it out, leaving a small constellation of damp spots on its surface as the only evidence of our encounter. I turned my back on it and the rest of its colorful, silent brethren, and leaped onto the sofa. A truly worthy adversary would have at least had the decency to fall apart. This was just another piece of human-made rubbish, destined to be lost under the refrigerator until the end of time.
