Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in a fit of what I can only assume is profound delusion, has presented me with a plush effigy of a German Shepherd. It's a silent, stuffed canine, approximately eight inches of faux fur and recycled plastic, intended to be "cuddly" for a lesser species known as "kids." While its "accurate detailing" and soft fur might make it a marginally acceptable prop for a dramatic pose, it lacks the fundamental requirements of a worthy adversary or plaything: movement, sound, and the decency to be a mouse. Its primary function seems to be occupying space that could be better used for my naps. The so-called "educational tag" is likely filled with pro-canine propaganda. Ultimately, it’s a monument to a lesser species, and I remain deeply unimpressed, though I suppose I could use it to practice my death glare.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The Offering was placed on the Persian rug in the sunbeam—*my* sunbeam. I watched from the arm of the sofa, my tail giving a single, irritated flick. It was a dog, but not a dog. It was silent, unnervingly so. Its dark, glassy eyes stared into the middle distance, its posture a permanent, alert stillness. My human cooed something about "Living Nature," a name so ironic for this lifeless totem that I nearly scoffed. This wasn't a gift. This was a psychological operation, a test of my nerve and my dominion. I descended with the fluid grace of a storm cloud pouring over a hill. My paws made no sound on the rug as I began a slow, deliberate patrol around the perimeter of the creature. It smelled of the box it came in and my human's misguided affection. A small paper tag, its official dossier, dangled from an ear. I snagged it with a single, perfectly extended claw. The text extolled the virtues of its living counterparts: "protective," "obedient," "fiercely loyal." Pathetic drivel. I let the tag drop. This imposter had no authority here. It guarded nothing. It obeyed no one, except the unyielding laws of physics. My reconnaissance complete, the time came for the first test. A real dog, upon seeing a superior being such as myself, would have committed some auditory sin—a bark, a whine, a foolish yip. This one remained steadfast in its silence. I drew closer, my white-tipped tail held low and steady. I extended a single paw and delivered a precise, firm tap to its plastic nose. Nothing. No reaction. No flinch. It was an empty vessel. I drew my paw back and, with a calculated burst of force, batted its head. It tumbled over with a soft, unsatisfying *whump*, landing unceremoniously on its side. The battle was over before it began. I stood over my vanquished, fluffy foe, a conqueror surveying his prize. Its purpose, however, was not yet fulfilled. I nudged its soft, eco-friendly flank with my head. It was firm, yet yielding. I circled once, then settled myself against it, resting my chin upon its back. The sunbeam warmed my gray fur, and the body of my defeated enemy provided excellent lumbar support. The human would see this and call it "cute." But I knew the truth. This was not friendship. This was subjugation. The dog was not my companion; it was my throne.
