Authority
by carolynholm
Cher Madame,
Because je suis le cat with the badge, il faut that I give Madame some necessary feedback.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
The badge? Are you referring to the spot on your chest?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Mais oui, but of course. Mon badge.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
And this badge confers some sort of special authority?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
This goes without saying. It is strange that Madame is ignorant of the power of le badge.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
And this feedback, it is about what, exactly?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
There have been the irregularities. The schedule she has been loosely applied.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I don’t know what you are complaining about. I just gave you your breakfast at an absolutely appropriate time.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
We pauvre tiny cats would appreciate it if you would arise earlier. To provide an earlier breakfast.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
That’s not going to happen, sweetie. Okay, maybe once in a while, but not every morning.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Sometimes the dinner she is late.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Not very late, sweetie. Anything else you’d like to bring up?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
The wand games started late last night.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I was finishing the chapter I was reading. Not to mention you and I were having such a nice snuggle while I read. And you know that I’ll play with you as soon as I finish reading.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
The snuggle was very nice, but this fudging of the times, Madame has a very cavalier attitude about le schedule.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I think you are exceeding your authority. I may need to have you demoted. In that case, we’d have to figure out how to remove your badge.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Carolyn ~
We brought our shop cat home to live with us when COVID shut us down in March 2020, and out of all the cats we’ve ever had together (15?), Edgar is the one with a “watch” on his wrist making sure everything is done and accomplished on time. I’ve never seen anything like it! This blog reminds me of “Living With Edgar.”
Hope you’re all doing well.
Love,
Linda
We are well, thank you! Isn’t it amazing how well these guys keep track of the time? Right now my guys are totally up in arms about the time change. From their point of view, not having changed their watches, we are LATE LATE LATE producing meals very day now. Ouf.
