Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has presented me with what they call a "goat." Apparently, it's a miniature replica of some sort of farm animal, created by a brand with the gall to call itself "The Petting Zoo." I am not an attraction to be gawked at. This 6-inch plush creature, made from the ghosts of discarded water bottles, is, I suppose, an acceptable size for a vigorous bunny-kicking session. Its floppy ears and little horns might provide some interesting textural variety for a discerning fang, and the promise of "durable stitching" is the only thing preventing me from immediately classifying it as future landfill material. It might serve as a decent enough inanimate underling for a few minutes, or it might just be another static dust collector with a foolishly optimistic smile. Its fate hangs in the balance.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The offering was placed on the rug before me, a small, gray-and-white lump of recycled fluff. I gave it the obligatory sniff. It smelled of plastic packaging and a distinct lack of anything remotely prey-like. With a flick of my tail, I dismissed it and turned my attention to the more pressing matter of supervising a sunbeam's slow journey across the hardwood floor. Later, my human, clearly disappointed by my lack of enthusiasm, perched the little goat on the edge of the bookshelf, where it sat with its unsettlingly placid smile, overlooking my domain like some cheap, fluffy gargoyle. That night, a storm rolled in. Thunder rattled the windows, a percussive assault on the quiet dignity of my home. As a particularly loud clap shook the house, the power flickered and died, plunging the room into an inky blackness broken only by flashes of lightning. In one of those electric-blue moments, I saw the goat. It was no longer on the bookshelf. It was sitting in the middle of the floor, its button eyes seeming to absorb the flashing light. Another flash, and it was closer. This was no ordinary toy. This was some sort of storm-spirit, a silent wanderer drawn by the atmospheric chaos. I rose from my velvet cushion, my own tuxedo fur bristling. I approached with the low, cautious gait I usually reserve for rogue dust bunnies of unusual size. The goat did not move. It simply sat, paws perched, a tiny island of calm in the tempest. I circled it once, twice. It was a test. A challenge of nerve. Who was this silent interloper? As the thunder cracked directly overhead, I reached out a single, curious paw and tapped one of its floppy ears. In that instant, the lights flickered back on, the hum of the refrigerator returning to the world. The goat was back on the bookshelf, exactly where the human had left it. I blinked. Had I imagined it? Perhaps. But as I settled back onto my cushion, I understood. This little goat was not a plaything for base physical combat. It was a companion for the strange, in-between moments—a stoic partner in weathering the storms, both literal and existential. It did not flinch from the thunder, and so, I decided, it was a worthy guardian of the bookshelf. It could stay, not as a toy, but as a silent, steadfast compatriot against the noisy chaos of the outside world. It had proven its mettle without moving a single stitched muscle.
