Rejection
by carolynholm
Cher Madame,
Mon repose was shattered by Madame’s rejection.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Is this about the hairball? I yelled at you because you deposited it on my nice Armenian rug.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Madame has repeatedly rejected this pauvre petit cat.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I have not rejected you, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
This morning you pushed me away. Avec rudeness.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Oh. That. You were in my face.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
It was the time for Madame to awaken!
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
No it wasn’t.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Bien sûr, it vraiment was that time. I was starving. It was time for la breakfast.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
It was almost time.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Always an argument. And last night also, Madame rejected me.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I did? I don’t think so.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Yes, again pushing this pauvre innocent cat away.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Okay, it was a bit crowded with both of you cats sitting right on top of me.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
But you hurt the feelings.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I’m sorry. I love you, and your belly hair is wonderfully soft, but I can’t sleep with you practically on my face.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Voila. See? You rejected me.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Okay. I’m sorry for that.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
And that is not all. The other day you said you were going to put me down.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
And?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Put. Me. Down.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Oh. That’s not how I meant it. I was going to lift you off my lap.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Then Madame should say ça.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I think we’ve had this misunderstanding before. I wish we could stop repeating some of these conversations.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Ouf. Yet another rejection by Madame.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin

Monsieur Poufin,
My #1 regularly turfs me off her lap, with the excuse that she has to work and she can’t do it with me in her arms. I think this is awful but I have learned that it does not constitute a rejection. Just momentary loss of her senses. She eventually relents.
Purrs,
Your French cousin Genji
OMG, hilarious one, Carolyn, love it! Brought back memories of my cat Socks, often trying to sleep on my face, for pete’s sake!
