The Moggie
by carolynholm
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
