The Moggie

The Moggie

Cher Madame,

That moron Poppy, récemment she has been going on and on about les aristocrats.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

She is showing a lot of interest in her origins.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

I have les origins aussi.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

I know you do. We’re all interested in your origin story.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Je suis Français.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

No, you are from Los Angeles. We’ve been through this before.

Love, Carolyn

 

Madame,

Los Angeles may be en France.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

No honey, it’s not. And you are from South Central LA, so you probably should be speaking Spanish, not French. But I have to say, you do stick to your story.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Je suis un aristocrat.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Still on that, are we? Well, yes, you’re 100% DSH.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Et, il faut remind Madame, je sues un Tuxedo, which is très très special. Je suis un Tuxedo DSH. Mais DSH, c’est un strange name. It sounds comme un disease. Pourquois people don’t say Domestic Short Hair?

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Because humans are lazy and like to abbreviate.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

C’est true. D’habitude, Madame she is très lazy.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

This from a cat who does nothing but eat and sleep.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Such a tone négatif. Je suis sur that Madame is jealous from the lifestyle of moi.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Maybe. I could probably benefit from a nap now and then.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Naps are très bénéfique. Madame should try napping. It might improve Madame’s outlook. Et Mia is jealous aussi.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Ok, I’ll bite. Why is Mia jealous?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Because je parle Français. Mia she speaks seulement Feline et l’Anglais. English, c’est such a low langue. She has no sophistication.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

I don’t know why you two can’t get along.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Mia, she has un personality difficile. She claims DSH c’est another name for Alley Cat.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

She’s right. Those are your people.

Love, Carolyn

 

Madame,

I choose not to hear cette trash. I close my ears when Madame she hurls les insults.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

And I read somewhere that in England they call your people Moggies.

Love, Carolyn

 

Madame,

Ce n’est pas possible. C’est un terrible name. No dignity.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

And you are so very dignified.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Je suis Français. Je suis above all les silly names.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

I’m sure the French have a good name for Domestic Short Hairs.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

En Français je suis un Tuxedo Chat Magnificat.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin
