The Lawyer

by carolynholm

Dear Puffin,
This morning you lied to me. I have to say, I’m disappointed in you.
Carolyn

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

Dear Puffin,
You did this morning. As soon as I woke up you were all over me, crying that Monsieur hadn’t fed you.
Carolyn

Cher Madame,
One should ask Monsieur about this confusion. Except one cannot because he left the house very early while it was still dark.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
He had to catch an early plane. But I texted him and he replied that he had indeed fed you.
Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Moi, he did not feed. He put my bowl away.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
He plainly said you were up and lobbying him for breakfast, while Mia slept late with me. He put food in both bowls, as usual, but when he found you eating Mia’s food, he put your bowl away. The operative word here is eating. Sounds pretty conclusive that you were fed.
Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Must it be pointed out to Madame that this petit cat was not fed in the proper bowl?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
So TECHNICALLY you were not fed because you ate Mia’s food?
Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Oui, technically, quoi.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
If you were not a cat you would probably be a lawyer.
Love, Carolyn
