Catfish

by carolynholm

Cher Madame,
Je suis confused. This toy she is a fish, non?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Apparently. I think it’s supposed to be a catfish.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This is what is a confusion pour moi. Seriously, the fish that is the cat?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It’s not a cat, sweetie, it’s a kind of fish that simply has “cat” in the name.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Un fish that is the cat, c’est all wrong.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It’s just a name.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Pourquois?????? Why???????  Why does she call herself this terrible name?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It’s not a terrible name. It’s just because these fish have whiskers.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Because of the whiskers, they slander cats? We are not an ugly animal like this creature.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It’s just a name, sweetie. You can call it anything you like.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
I shall call it Uglyfish. Mais il y a un autre problem. Another problem for this pauvre petit cat to ponder over.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Okay, bring it on.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Ok, sorry. So what is the other problem with this toy?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
A fish that is the cat that flies through the air? Madame does not see the problem?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I think you are a very literal minded cat.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
All cats we have a quite reasonable literal mind.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
No, Mia doesn’t. She is capable of wild flights of fancy. She loves it that this catfish flies through the air.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Moi, I enjoy the jumping after the Uglyfish who is the flying fish cat. As prey goes she is very exciting. Alors, I just bring up la question philosophique. La question existential. The cat who is the fish who flies. C’est trop, it is too much.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
One might say that a cat who questions all this, instead of playing with it, is himself too much.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
As usual, toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
