Dear Puffin,

You know that you are sitting on Poppy’s nice sofa. Why do you do that?

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

Je suis an innocent petit cat. To what does Madame refer?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

You know perfectly well what I am getting at.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

C’est so obtuse. Pourquoi Madame does not come to le point?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

You know that Poppy is intimidated by you, and that she doesn’t know what to do when you sleep on her sofa.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

Dommage. This sofa is so nicely located. Le cur Poppy has several other beds. That this petit cat sleeps in one of them, c’est rien.

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

It is not “nothing”. It is a territory grab, for heavens sake.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

Il faut dire one word about that: Pah.

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

You are simply trying to cause trouble by being rude to sweet Poppy. Let’s see if you can be civil for a change.

Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,

Pah.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,

Okay, doofus, you asked for it. One of these days when I find you on Poppy’s sofa I’m going to ring the doorbell, and laugh while you race out of the room and hide under my bed.

Love, Carolyn
