Night Sounds
by carolynholm
Dear Puffin,
You were making cute little grunting sounds in your sleep last night.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
This petit cat does not do the grunting.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
It won’t hurt your reputation for dignity, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
It is probably the Winston. He does the snoring all night long.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
He does, doesn’t he! He’s a noisy breather. I suspect it’s because his nose is not shaped quite as straight as it should be. But you do indeed grunt.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Perhaps you are hearing the Poppy. She barks in her sleep.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I love when she does that. She makes such cute little barky yips, and her feet twitch. Maybe she is chasing squirrels in her dreams.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
She does this every night. She is probably the one you hear grunting.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
She does, every night, you are right about that. She has a very rich dream life. But you still do the grunting.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Perhaps you are hearing Monsieur.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I think not. What I hear is a very small animal sound.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
The window she is open, You probably hear an animal passing by under the bushes. Louie the ginger cat. Or a possum.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
If it were a critter passing by under the window, what we’d most likely hear is the rustle of leaves. No, I’m pretty sure I heard you grunting.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Such relentless persecution. Madame is determined to describe this dignified cat as a grunter.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Life is unfair.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. le Poufin
