Cher Madame,
Spots are très important.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin, 
Yes, you have some very nice spots. One like a badge on your chest, and a nice round spot on each heel.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Not that kind of spot, Madame. The kind of spot where this petit cat can spend the morning. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Okay, I know what this is about. My apologies, I got sidetracked by a phone call first thing this morning, and I didn’t make up the bed right away. I realize you were waiting for your spot.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat was forced to wait around for Madame to prepare the spot. C’était the inconvenience. But the apology she is appreciated. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It’s a lovely morning spot you have there, on the bed looking out of the window.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
But the bed must be properly made up with the comfy fur cover over the pillows. That makes it the good spot. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You have several good spots.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Mais bien sûr. A proper cat has one for every occasion. For the afternoon there is Poppy’s bed in the living room.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
What about the dining room window spot? That’s a good one for watching the bird feeder between naps.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
That is an adequate spot, and it used to be a favorite, but the Winston has been putting himself there every day. This petit cat likes to enjoy his nap undisturbed by the proximity of an annoying youngster.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Understandable. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
There is also the Game Spot.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Where you sit expectantly every evening, at precisely 9:00pm, ready for playtime to start. I wish I could sense time as accurately as you do. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It simply feels like game time. And the youngster Winston sits in his Spectator Spot. Up in the Stadium that is the sofa. Where he can watch me demonstrate my superior hunting skills, strategy, and artistic form. Then, when it’s his turn to play, you run him up and down the sofa with the fly-on-a-wire. No skill required.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
No, none required. Just a wild scramble back and forth chasing that thing.
Love, Carolyn 

Cher Madame,
He seems satisfied with that. Maybe just because he is quite young. And muscularly athletic. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Good observation. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
And to finish the day, there is the night spot on the bed by your feet. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Where hopefully you won’t weigh down my feet and cut off my circulation.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
