Dear Puffin,
Your late night antics are becoming tiresome, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat does not know to what Madame is referring.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Yes you do. Incidents like last night’s crash. It sounded like someone was throwing dishes in the kitchen. At three in the morning.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Surely Madame is aware that no one was throwing dishes.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin
You knocked your food dish onto the floor. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Il faut dire, this petit cat did not throw the dish. It fell.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
And it fell because you were trying to break into your automatic feeder. You almost knocked it off the cabinet again. I might have to move your feeder to the floor if you keep doing this.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The feeder needs to be on the cabinet so that the Poppy doesn’t bother this petit cat while he is eating his breakfast.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I agree. So let’s stop trying to maneuver your way into the feeder. You’ve already knocked it off the cabinet twice. It’s an expensive feeder – let’s not wreck it
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
What is this pauvre petit cat to do? The fragrance of the kibble inside the feeder is intoxicating.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
But the only time it is so intoxicating that you need to break it open is under the cover of darkness in the middle of the night. And make a racket to wake the dead. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Mon Dieu, so many complaints. Poor Madame is very grumpy. Clearly she is unhinged and in need of Cat Therapy, with extra licking, snuggles, and purrs in order to calm her down. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin
