Cher Madame,
This petit cat is offended.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Now what?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Il faut dire, something said by Madame. About this petit cat. Something offensive.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I would not say something offensive about you! 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Madame called this petit cat a “poor old guy”.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It was said with love, sweetie! I’m sorry. It just slipped out when I saw that you had drooled blood again all over your lovely white paw.
Love, Carolyn

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

Dear Puffin,
In that case we’ll just assume the bloody mess got on your foot by some unknown process.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The foot is almost white again.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin
I love that as sick as you are, you are trying to keep yourself up.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The face cleaning has been helpful. Madame has been very kind to wash the face of this petit cat.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Being sick makes it hard to look your best. And that tumor in your cheek sure does make a mess.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
I don’t want Poppy to clean me though. She will not stop licking me.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I understand. I’ve been trying to keep her away from you.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat appreciates Madame’s daily grooming.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I know you do. You like the treats that go along with it. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The treats are lovely. Madame is quite generous with the treats.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Lately that’s the only thing you will eat. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
I lick a bit of the salmon pâte.
Regards, M. Le Poufin 

Dear Puffin,
Just a tiny bit. But not enough. You seem to be living on air.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This is an exaggeration. Madame gets carried away.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Sweetie, you’ve lost so much weight. You’re not our fat and sassy Puffin any more! You are down from 13 pounds to 8.6 pounds. It breaks my heart to look at you. Your bones are showing. And all you do now is sleep. My sweet old invalid.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The Poppy keeps taking the bed.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I have to say, it is her bed, sweetie. But it’s a good place for you to be spending your time. She’s just going to have to share it with you. She has other beds. This house is full of animal beds.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This one is in the living room.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
That’s a good central place, isn’t it! That’s why it is a popular bed.
Love, Carolyn
 
Cher Madame,
When this petit cat steps away, Poppy tries to reclaim the bed.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
But this morning when she took over the bed, you surprised her by crawling in with her! I’m glad you two could share it.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It’s a cat bed now. This petit cat was just waiting patiently for that mutt to vacate.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
