The Conversation
by carolynholm
Dear Puffin
You are not as noisy as you used to be. You used to make all kinds of noises in your sleep.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Alors, these noises, to what does Madame refer?
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Oh you used to grunt and moan and chirp and meow in your sleep. It was cute.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
So this pauvre little cat has been entertaining Madame. But c’est no longer le case?
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
No, you seemed to have stopped now that you have lost weight. I miss it, though. But you are a good talker when you are awake. In fact you are downright chatty.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Bien sûr, of course I am a good talker. It goes without the saying.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I read that cats only vocalize with their babies and with humans.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Mais oui, we have absolutely no need to vocalize with each other. No need for that at all. I can force Mia to jump up and run away simply by giving her my Killer Stare.
Regards,
M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.
Love, Carolyn
