Pete's Expert Summary
So, my staff has presented me with a box of what appear to be miniature, wheeled monstrosities from the "DINOBROS" brand—a name that already sets my teeth on edge. Ostensibly, these are six plastic dinosaurs fused onto pull-back car chassis, clearly intended for the unsophisticated palate of a small human. The concept is, frankly, absurd. A Pterosaur with wheels? The indignity. However, their saving grace, the single feature that rescues them from being immediately and permanently lost under the heaviest piece of furniture, is their self-propulsion. The promise of something "fast and sturdy" that I can chase across the hardwood floors without requiring the clumsy assistance of a human hand might offer a few moments of frantic, floor-level hunting. It could be a worthy expenditure of energy, or it could just be more plastic clutter. The jury, which is to say, *I*, am still out.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The incident began during my mid-afternoon territorial survey, which mostly involves ensuring the sunbeam in the living room is precisely where it should be. The Tall One, with a grin I’ve learned to mistrust, upended a cardboard container. Out tumbled a gang of six garish, wheeled beasts, a veritable street tough crew of prehistoric rejects. They were a motley collection of plastic and rubber, their faces frozen in silent roars. My initial assessment was one of profound disappointment. They sat there, inert and useless, occupying my valuable floor space. I gave a dismissive flick of my tail and began to turn away, intending to find a more dignified patch of sunlight. That’s when the Tall One initiated the attack. He seized the green one—the one with the comically large head and tiny arms—and dragged it backward across the floor. It emitted a series of high-pitched clicks, a sound of mechanical protest that snagged my attention. Then, he let it go. The creature launched forward, a blur of green plastic and spinning black wheels, aimed directly for the heart of my sunbeam. It was an act of war. A low growl rumbled in my chest. I flattened myself to the floor, my gray-and-white form a sudden shadow against the wood, and watched the intruder skid to a halt right on the edge of my sacred space. My contempt had curdled into a kind of grudging respect. This was not a limp, feather-on-a-string affair. This was an adversary with momentum. The Tall One, mistaking my tactical assessment for enthusiasm, unleashed the entire pack. Suddenly, the floor was a chaotic skirmish of whirring lizards. A spiky one shot past my left flank, a horned one veered wildly toward the leg of the sofa. It was a multi-pronged assault. I became a whirlwind of soft fur and sharp focus, batting the Velociraptor into a spin, sidestepping the charging Triceratops, and executing a perfect pounce that sent the T-Rex tumbling end over end. My paws were a blur, my mind a sharp crystal of predatory calculus. When the last wheel stopped spinning, I stood panting amidst the carnage, the victor. The six interlopers were scattered, defeated. I approached the T-Rex, lying on its side, and gave its ridiculous snout a firm, definitive tap with my paw. They were absurd, noisy, and utterly undignified. But they were fast, they were sturdy, and they had provided a challenge worthy of my skills. They had, against all odds, earned their place in my kingdom. For today, at least.
