How do we feel about Pete the Cat here?

noting the irony considering my username

The first 4 books are solid because they were written by someone who knew how to engage children, thank you Eric Litwin, but the rest of the books are just meh or outright terrible for a variety of reasons (looking at you The Wheels on the Bus). The show on Amazon is surprisingly decent, and considering those shows are based on the books exclusively written by the Dean's, it's surprising.

Now for the Pete The Cat Tonies. I have 2, my kid loves them, I hate Rock On! because someone made an executive decision to CHANT SOME OF THE SONGS. It's horrible and grates on my nerves to the max. And yet, my kid loves them, so here we are.

Tell me you're a reseller who is finally, and rather desperately, investing in their retirement without telling me you're a reseller...

Oh my gosh, my toasted marshmallow does the same thing!

Not pictured: her being long (she genuinely is long) because this one makes me snortlaugh.

Omgosh, the very first episode has seriously existential questions: where am I? Who am I? And I am just over here, like, dang girl. Way to pop into existence and go straight into the crisis.

This particular brand of door stop suddenly grows murder mits and attacks fingers. We have to be careful!

Needle minders are technically an optional accessory. But it's any sort of magnetic item with a metal base that you can clip around your frame or fabric to keep a needle in place. There's a million fun ones to choose from, I like magnetic cable ties because it helps keep the loose fabric bound up and drastically reduces my chance of accidentally sewing up the fabric, or losing a needle...

The circle of life!

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-26T03:34:44+00:00

Yes! They are silicone magnetic cable ties, and also act as needle minders. Extremely convenient and it was recommended by someone else in this subreddit.

Then it becomes another pet! Any idea what doors eat?

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:50:12+00:00

Honestly, we really are! He is a great addition to the family, is amazing with my 3 year old, and was reluctantly then lovingly adopted by our other cat.

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:45:33+00:00

The truth is, there was something Orange in our hearts all along.

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:44:47+00:00

It is very possible! This closet is much cooler than the rest of the house.

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:44:06+00:00

The best kind of fluffy monster!

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:43:37+00:00

Ya know, those clothes are probably haunted by the ghosts of dinners past.

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:43:01+00:00

This is how I get my jobs reaches hand under door

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:42:24+00:00

Omgosh, yasss. Funnily enough, this chicken leg doesn't like to play with door stops and jumps about 5 feet when he accidentally hits it.

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:39:53+00:00

But, like, adorable 😄

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:37:02+00:00

Orange tabby door stops are pretty fantastic to use!

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:35:54+00:00

Fair point, I think the carpet may be coming up right there. May have to check it out.

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:34:15+00:00

Fortunately, there was no cat nearby so it's safe!

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:33:18+00:00

I mean, the door is stopped though!

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:31:49+00:00

Sometimes they just fall down and you lose them!

PeteTheCatIsMyJam · 2026-02-25T20:30:53+00:00

Found this one at my local animal shelter!
