The Tuxedo

by carolynholm

Cher Madame,
Il faut that we discuss last week’s wedding.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Seriously? I thought we had finally finished with that. I wish you wouldn’t tell the others that we were probably eaten by predators, just because we came home late from that wedding.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It does make them sit up and listen to me.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Well, knock it off. You had them all worked up. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Enfin, that is not what this petit cat wants to discuss. Je suis remiss. I meant to compliment Monsieur last week. He was nearly as elegant as this petit cat.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Is this all going to make sense at some point?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It was très gratifying that Monsieur copied this petit cat, to wear a tuxedo.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
The tuxedo. I should have known.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It is clear that this petit cat is naturally elegant, toujours in a tuxedo. An aristocrat. The Winston is too disorganized to be an aristocrat. Cross-eyed. And as you once said, he looks like he was left in the toaster too long. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Winston is a beautiful cat. A gorgeous glossy seal point Siamese. Definitely an aristocrat, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Peut-être. And the Poppy. Sloppy skirts and greasy ears. You yourself have said her ears are hilarious.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Poppy is a lovely dog. Her skirts are elegant! And her ears are charming, straight out of a Dr. Seuss book. You are sounding very snarky today. Maybe you need a little treat?
Love, Carolyn 

Cher Madame,
A treat would be considered, oui.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
And I’ll pass along your compliment to Monsieur. About the tuxedo. I’m sure he’ll be pleased to hear that he was voted almost as elegant as the family cat.
Love, Carolyn
