Pete's Expert Summary
My human has acquired what appears to be a committee of small, plastic dignitaries from a place called "Sesame Street." This collection from "Just Play" features seven brightly colored, poseable figures, including a disconcertingly furry red one, a giant yellow bird, and a sullen-looking creature residing in a metal can. Their primary appeal, from my perspective, is their size. At three inches, they are perfectly shaped for a vigorous game of paw-puck, with a high probability of disappearing under the sofa for months. However, their lack of catnip, feathers, or any self-propulsion mechanism suggests they will require significant effort on my part to be even remotely entertaining, an investment of energy I am not yet convinced is worthwhile.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
I found them in the dead of night, arranged on the living room rug in a perfect circle. The moonlight slanted through the window, glinting off their plastic eyes. There were seven of them, silent and still, their poseable arms fixed in attitudes of strange reverence. My tail gave a single, involuntary twitch. This was no random placement of toys. This was a ritual. Creeping closer, my paws silent on the floorboards, I assessed the congregation. A large, yellow avian stood nervously, as if a lookout. A blue, googly-eyed beast seemed consumed by a silent, ravenous prayer. But the fulcrum of the entire affair was the small, red creature positioned at the head of the circle, his arms raised high. Elmo, the human had called him. He was clearly the high priest, the channeller of whatever silent, plastic malevolence they were attempting to summon into my domain. I could almost taste the foul energy in the air—it smelled vaguely of ozone and impending vet visits. I would not stand for it. This house has one supreme being, and it is me. Unsanctioned magical rites are a flagrant violation of the established order, an order which primarily involves my napping schedule remaining undisturbed. A direct assault was necessary to break their arcane formation and shatter the spell. I coiled my haunches, the hunter’s instinct overriding my usual languor. The target was the crimson priest. With a burst of speed I had not employed since the last time the can opener was used, I launched myself across the rug. My paw, a grey and white blur of righteous fury, connected with the red figurine in a satisfying *thwack*. He went airborne, tumbling end over end before skittering across the hardwood floor and vanishing into the dark, dusty oblivion beneath the heaviest armchair. The circle was broken. The remaining six figures seemed to slump, their occult power extinguished. I sniffed the air again. The danger had passed. They were just plastic. For now. This set is not a toy; it is a threat that must be vigilantly monitored and, when necessary, dismantled one piece at a time. It is absolutely worthy of my attention.
