It’s our 4 Year Anniversary!

This is the last of our celebration of four years of weekly Interspecies Memos by sharing some old favorites. This one is from September 23, 2016:

Dear Mommy,

I don’t understand cats at all.

XOXOXO

Poppy

Dear Poppy,

Don’t worry, you’re not alone in that.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Right? Cats are confusing! Especially Puffin. I can’t understand half of what he says! It’s all garbled! He makes no sense at all.

XOXOXO

Poppy

Dear Poppy,

That’s because he’s garbling French and English.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Why does he do that?????!

XOXOXO

Poppy

Dear Poppy,

He’s delusional. He thinks he’s French.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

He’s French????

XOXOXO

Poppy

Dear Poppy,

No, he thinks he’s French. He’s actually from Los Angeles. He was found wandering around in a South Central gutter when he was a tiny kitten. Poor baby, he was sick and covered with fleas.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

That makes him French?

XOXOXO

Poppy

Dear Poppy,

Of course not. That makes him lucky to have a good home. But for some reason he thinks he’s French. He’s pretentious but we love him and let him have this delusion. Just ignore him.

Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,

Ignore him? He’s scary!!!!! He hides and waits for me to walk down the hall, then he ambushes me! And then he says rude things to me in French.

XOXOXO

Poppy

Dear Poppy,

Seriously? That’s it? That’s all? He says rude things to you in French? This is way too much drama. Do other households have to put up with stuff like this?

Love, Carolyn
