Pete's Expert Summary
Ah, another offering for my consideration. Let's see. My human has presented me with this... "BenBen Teddy Bear." It appears to be a large, brown, plush effigy of a lesser beast, designed, it seems, for the clumsy affections of small, loud humans. Its primary features are its size—a substantial 20 inches, which is admittedly respectable—and its polyester-plush construction, supposedly for "hugging and snuggling." While the prospect of a new, oversized pillow to sink my claws into for a proper kneading session has some appeal, its intended purpose is beneath me. The "lock-washer eyes" and "stitched nose" scream "safety," which is another word for "boredom." It possesses no inherent motion, no tantalizing scent, and no electronic squeak to trigger my finely-honed predatory instincts. It is, in essence, a large, silent, fluffy lump; a potential napping accessory, but certainly not a toy.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The indignity began, as it so often does, with a cardboard box. The Human brought it into my living room—*my* living room—and proceeded to make a great deal of noise tearing it open. My tail gave a single, irritated flick. From the wreckage emerged a large, brown form, which the Human sat upright on the rug. It stared into the middle distance with vacant, black plastic eyes. "Isn't he adorable, Pete?" the Human cooed, stroking its synthetic fur. Adorable? This inanimate sack of stuffing? I, a creature of refined elegance with my silver-gray coat and immaculate white tuxedo, was being compared to *this*? I approached with caution, my movements fluid and silent. I circled the interloper, which I dubbed "The Oaf." It sat there, slumped and dopey, a mockery of a predator. I sniffed its foot; it smelled of a warehouse and vague chemicals. I rose on my hind legs, peered into its face, and noted the crudely stitched nose. There was no life here, no soul, no challenge. I gave its floppy ear a test-pat with one paw, claws sheathed for the moment. It merely wobbled, a pathetic response. This was no rival for affection; it was a piece of furniture. A very fluffy, poorly designed piece of furniture. My initial assessment complete, I turned my back on it in disdain. But then, the Human placed The Oaf on my favorite velvet armchair, right in the middle of the prime sunbeam territory. The sheer audacity. This could not stand. My armchair had been violated. A statement had to be made. I gathered myself, leaped gracefully over the arm of the chair, and landed squarely in the creature's lap. I intended to claim my rightful sunbeam by force, to show this brown nuisance its place. And then, something unexpected happened. The Oaf, with its "slightly floppy" stuffing, gave way beneath me. It wasn't firm and resistant like a cushion; it molded perfectly around my body, creating a warm, secure cradle. The plush material was surprisingly pleasant against my own superior fur. The sunbeam warmed us both, and The Oaf's bulk shielded me from any errant drafts. I shifted my weight, kneading my paws into its soft belly, and a deep, rumbling purr escaped my chest before I could suppress it. Very well. The Oaf was not a toy, nor a pet. It was a butler. A silent, fluffy, and surprisingly comfortable throne, whose sole purpose was to elevate my napping experience. It could stay. For now.
