Pete's Expert Summary
My Human has brought another piece of plastic effluvia into my domain. According to the box, this is a "Funko POP!" of a "Yankees – Aaron Judge," which I can only assume is a high-ranking human from a tribe that wears striped pajamas. It is a small, static idol with an unnervingly large head, crafted from "premium vinyl," which is just a fancy way of saying it won't shatter into satisfying pieces on the first swat. Its primary purpose seems to be collecting dust on a shelf, a task I already have a surplus of decorative gourds and souvenir shot glasses performing. For a creature of action such as myself, its only potential value lies in its convenient, 3.75-inch size, which is perfect for batting under the heaviest piece of furniture in the house. A temporary diversion, at best.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The Human placed the little giant-headed man on the mantelpiece, a place usually reserved for photographs of my less-furry, less-interesting family members. He stood there, silent and stoic, holding his wooden club and staring blankly into the middle distance. For days, I regarded him as an insult. Was this my new competition for attention? This motionless, soulless little statue? I would leap onto the back of the sofa, my gray-and-white tuxedo immaculate, and fix him with my most withering glare. He did not flinch. He did not even blink. My campaign of intimidation was a failure. One evening, during the witching hour when the house is dark and the greebles run rampant along the baseboards, I saw his true purpose. A sliver of moonlight from the window caught his oversized plastic head, illuminating him like a tiny, vinyl lighthouse. He wasn't just staring; he was a silent sentinel, a guardian against the unseen horrors of the night. He was the Watcher on the Mantel. I, of course, was the General of the floor-level forces, but every general needs a lookout in the high ground. From then on, our relationship changed. He became my silent partner in the nightly patrol. I would pause my hunt, look up to his perch, and his unchanging expression would seem to communicate vital intelligence. A flicker of a shadow in the corner? His unmoving gaze told me, "Hold your position, General Pete. It is merely the refrigerator cycling on." A mysterious skittering sound from the kitchen? His silence was a command: "Advance and neutralize, for the honor of the household!" He held the high ground, unwavering, his vinyl form a symbol of eternal vigilance. He will never be a toy. I cannot chase him, pounce on him, or disembowel him to see if there is catnip inside. That is beneath his station, and frankly, beneath mine. But he is not useless. He is my strategic asset, my silent comrade-in-arms in the endless war against household entropy and shadowy threats. The Human thinks he is a collectible. I know he is a soldier. The little Judge has proven his worth. He may remain at his post.
