From: Jada Toys

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human has presented me with this… object. It’s a miniature, very shiny, very red version of one of their loud, smelly transportation pods. They call it a "Honda NSX Type-R," which is a mouthful of nonsense. It’s apparently made of "die-cast metal," which explains its substantial, satisfying weight—not some flimsy plastic thing that would shatter on its first trip off the bookshelf. The little rubber tires might offer a smooth, controlled glide across the hardwood floor, and the fact that its doors and hood open presents intriguing possibilities for poking a curious claw into its crevices. However, the box says "Ages 8+," which is a dead giveaway that this was never meant for me. It’s a shelf-sitter, a dust-gatherer, an object for the human to admire. While its heft is promising for a good gravity experiment, I suspect it will ultimately prove to be a colossal waste of my time.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The new god arrived on a Tuesday. The human, with the sort of reverence usually reserved for the opening of a can of premium tuna, placed the gleaming red idol upon the coffee table. It sat there, an audacious slash of color on my mahogany-brown napping vista. It was an imposter, a cold, metal thing that absorbed the adoration that was rightfully mine. I watched from the arm of the sofa, tail twitching, as the human poked at it, murmuring about its "JDM spec" and "detailed interior." The insult was palpable. When the human finally retreated to the food-chamber, I made my move. A silent leap, a soft landing. I approached the idol with caution. A sniff confirmed my suspicions: it smelled of cardboard and cold factory indifference. I gave it a tentative pat with a single, unsheathed claw. It didn't skitter or flee. Instead, it rolled, a smooth, near-silent glide on its tiny rubber feet. The motion was... elegant. Far superior to the chaotic bouncing of that wretched plastic ball with the bell in it. My interest was piqued. My investigation deepened. I noticed a fine line along its side. A gentle pry with my claw tip and—*click*—a door swung open. Astonishing. Inside was a tiny, perfect world of seats and a steering wheel, a space far too small for me but perfectly sized for my imagination. What secrets could be stored in such a place? A forgotten treat? The ghost of a mouse? I circled the vehicle, my cynicism melting like butter in a sunbeam. I found I could also lift its front and back panels, revealing molded plastic engines and trunks. It wasn't a toy; it was a puzzle box. A heavy, silent, intricate machine of unknown purpose. My final test was one of physics. With a calculated shove, I sent the car gliding toward the edge of the table. It was not a frantic, desperate push, but a controlled experiment. The vehicle reached the precipice and teetered for a dramatic moment before succumbing to the inevitable. It fell, not with a cheap, plastic clatter, but with a solid, resonant *thump* on the rug below. The impact popped both doors open, as if in surrender. The human yelped from the kitchen. I looked down at my work, then nonchalantly began to groom my shoulder. It was utterly useless for a good chase, but as a device for causing minor, controlled chaos and reminding the tall ones who truly commands this household? Absolutely worthy. I will allow it to stay.
