Dear Puffin,
Now that Mia is gone, you’re the new Head Cat! How does that feel?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
C’est trop. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Too much? Too much of what, sweetie?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
La pressure. This pauvre petit cat is overwhelmed with la pressure.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Seriously? Pressure? Being the cat of the house involves pressure?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Oui! To be present, to show up on les laps, to purr when Monsieur scratches the chin, to be the cuddly house cat. So many duties. C’est trop. C’est la pressure. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Mia handled all that without complaining.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Mia was la party girl. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
She certainly was the life of the party. I know you like to sound grumpy, but I can tell you miss her. You’ve been a bit needy lately.  
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Et, la voilà, la pressure.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Now you are just trying to be a curmudgeon.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Trop de la pressure. Madame applies la pressure to this pauvre petit cat.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Okay, we’ll give you a different title: Monsieur Chief Grumpy Cat.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Encore, toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
