Skirmish
by carolynholm
Dear Puffin,
Are you responsible for kicking all the litter out of the litterbox?
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Vous sound très annoyed.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Of course I’m annoyed! The litter is supposed to stay in the box.
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
C’est dommage. C’est probably Mia who does this thing that annoys Madame.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
You can’t pin this on Mia. It just happened, and Mia’s downstairs, and here I find you walking away from the litterbox.
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
C’est l’evidence circumstantial.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Stop trying to weasel out of this. I know it was you.
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
If Madame knows it is moi, then pourquoi does she demand who is responsible?
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I’ll ignore that. Don’t try to change the subject.
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
C’est un matter of le hygiene.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
No, it’s not. So knock it off. No more kicking litter out of the box.
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Il faut kick all the litter around after le pee.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
No, it is not necessary. Just cover your work and exit the box.
Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Il faut cover from tous les sides. Back et forth. Avec vigor. To dominate le pee et le poop.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
You’re not dominating anything in there. All that scratching in the box just makes a mess.
Carolyn
Madame,
If un peux litter exits le boite de chat, then that is un accident. But le scratching, c’est très necessaire. Madame should be thanking her chats for being so vigilent in our use of le boite. Peut-être Madame would prefer we make use of her slippers instead?
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Ok, I give up. You win. You’re holding all the cards.
Carolyn
