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
