Cher Madame,
It is très intéressant that humans invented furniture. Very inventive for an animal that is otherwise limited. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Limited?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Your claws are inferior. Your fur is inadequate. No wonder you invented clothing and furniture. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You enjoy our furniture. The bed is a huge hit with all of you.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The bed, she is nice. The sofa is très accommodating. And the cabinet in the dining room offers both morning sun and a charming view of the bird feeder. But the rest, meh. So much stuff, and so much furniture to hold stuff. Your people get carried away with your inventions.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You are quite the critic this morning. Is this because I moved you off my kitchen chair?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat asks for so little. Just to sit quietly in the kitchen. Sur le comfortable cushion on the chair. Then Madame comes along and sweeps him off. Disregarding the senior cat dignity.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I wanted to sit there myself, sweetie, to enjoy my coffee.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
C’était rude.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Your hissing made your feelings clear. But seriously, I do respect your dignity! I got out this step stool for you, to help you get on the bed. See? Human furniture can be helpful! 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat appreciates the assistance.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I felt so badly that you have arthritis now. I hated to see your undignified scramble as you haul yourself up onto the bed. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It is rude of Madame to emphasize toutes les indignitiés. Madame should be reminded that this petit cat does not do the hauling. Or the undignified scrambling. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Oh for heaven’s sake. I was just trying to help you, sweetie. We all recognize that you are truly a noble, dignified animal.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This senior cat accepts Madame’s apology. Vraiment, the step-stool allows a dignified entrance to the bed. It is truly a gesture of love by Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
