Cher Madame,
We have noted that there is a new water bowl. Thank you, Madame for this.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I’m glad to hear I did something right for a change! I thought it would be convenient for you if there was one more, and the bathroom seemed like a good place for it. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The food and water in the kitchen are not in such a good place.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
They are in an excellent place, sweetie. On the cabinet where you don’t have to compete with Poppy. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
A jump is required.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Not a very high jump.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This pauvre petit cat has some difficulty with jumps. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I know, sweetie. Because you are neither pauvre nor petit. You are a fat and sassy cat. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Fat is a word that is harsh.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I’m sorry. But it has to be said. You are not exactly petit, and that is part of the problem. You are becoming more and more rotund in spite of your strict diet. Are you sneaking Poppy’s food when she isn’t around to defend it?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Possibly.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Possibly? I guess that means probably. What are we going to do with you? We can’t let this food theft continue. It’s not healthy!
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This pauvre petit cat should inspire the kindness in Madame. Je suis un senior cat.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You are indeed a senior cat. I can’t believe you are thirteen years old. It seems like yesterday that you were a crazy kitten.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This pauvre petit cat is presque 14. Très, très senior. There should be respect.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Okay, I respect you so much that I’ve moved the Cat Tree closer to the dining cabinet, so you can get up to your food and water by way of the cat tree steps. Now we just need to find a way to keep you out of Poppy’s food.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The food of the dog is not up to the quality of cat cuisine. And Poppy is very annoying. She barks every time I walk into the kitchen.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Of course she does. Now I understand why! She’s on to you. Now we all are, sweetie. We know what you are up to, and it’s putting pounds on you. Soon you’ll be as big as Poppy.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
