Cher Madame,
C’est true that yesterday was the day for thankfulness? 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It was indeed. I thought a lot about how grateful I am for all my wonderful friends and family, and how much I miss seeing them in person. Thanksgiving usually involves a big family feast, but not this year. In its place Monsieur and I had a nice take-out dinner from the Italian restaurant around the corner.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat does not do the thankfulness.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Seriously? There is nothing you are thankful for?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Peut-être there was thankfulness the time Winston spent the night in the closet.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Oh please, that’s all you can come up with? That’s not something to be thankful for, Sweetie. Winston was just a baby then. His tiny meow was so quiet I didn’t hear him when he got shut in the closet. Assuming he even cried out. I felt badly the next morning when I found him there.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It was a peaceful night without the bothersome petit coquin. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Wait, did you lock him in there?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat is much maligned by Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Ok, we won’t go there. But surely you have better things than that to be thankful for. Treats, for instance. I’m sure you are thankful for treats. Or for the sunny spot in the dining room. Which even has a great view of the bird feeder. That’s something to be thankful for. Or maybe for Poppy’s nice comfy bed, the one that you like to commandeer.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
C’est vrai, those are good things. But is this petit cat required to feel thankful for them? 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You don’t?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat regards these things as his due. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I should have known you’d find a way to weasel out of thankfulness.
Love, Carolyn

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