Standard Time
by carolynholm
Cher Madame,
The schedule she has changed. Madame has changed it. All is not as it should be.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Changed the schedule? Of course I haven’t, sweetie!
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Vraiment, the schedule is disturbed. Madame has changed the meal times.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
You are referring to the Time Change! This week we had to move the clocks back an hour to Standard Time. It does take getting used to, doesn’t it?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
C’est fou. Vraiment crazy.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I’ll admit it is one of the goofier things humans do. I wish we could just stay on Standard Time all year long.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
The Schedule she is très, très important. We have a time for the Breakfast. A time for the Dinner. A time for the Playing of the Evening Games. The Schedule is not to be taken lightly.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I wouldn’t dream of taking it lightly, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Moving the times, this is exactly what is called taking it lightly. Madame has a very cavalier attitude about all this. Meal times are très, très important.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I understand. Breakfast and dinner pretty much anchor your day.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
This pauvre petit cat needs his meals.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
You do all right, sweetie. You are not going to waste away. And now and then you are extra lucky, when I fill both feeders and leave Winston’s open by mistake. You move right in to get a huge bonus meal!
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
It is such a lovely surprise when Madame’s attention is distracted this way.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
You also get treats, from Monsieur!
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Monsieur is très generous with the treats. But the Winston grabs all the treats from Monsieur. This pauvre petit cat gets none of them.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Maybe we’ll need to give you a treat or two when Winston isn’t around to dash in and steal them.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Bien sûr, that will make the disorganized schedule a bit easier for this petit cat to tolerate.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
