Cher Madame,
This petit cat appreciates that Madame offers the interesting windows.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I’m glad you enjoy them! When one isn’t feeling top notch, its nice to have a comfy bed with a view. Even better, several of them. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The best, peut-être, is the window in the dining room. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You are there every morning.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Mais oui, because it is the best window in the house on a sunny morning.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
That morning sunshine floods right in there, doesn’t it!  And even better, it has a view of the bird feeder. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Those birds, they are very noisy animals.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
They do sound like they are having a party.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Il faut dire, it is a wild and unruly party. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
That’s why I put a cat bed there. Just for you to lounge in the sun and watch the show. Though lately I think you mostly sleep through the feeder parties.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The kitchen window is also interesting, with its view of the sidewalk. So this petit cat can see the neighbors passing by, walking their dogs. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Some of the people walking by are without dogs.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This is a foolishly dog-obsessed neighborhood, Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It’s true, most of our neighbors have dogs.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The back bedroom looks out on a different sidewalk. Why do we have two sidewalks?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
We live on a corner, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The second sidewalk has the lemon tree next to it, so this petit cat can spy on people stealing the lemons.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I wish they wouldn’t. But everyone loves those Meyer Lemons. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Humans are not to be trusted.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
They probably don’t realize that I need lemons for cooking.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Humans can be sneaky animals. But this, Madame, is just the opinion of a petit cat.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You are entitled to that. So, the patio window! You used to like that one. Not so much lately.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The Winston likes that window. He sits in front of it hoping the crow will show up.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You used to keep an eye on it at night. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Neighborhood cats they come stealing onto our patio in the dead of night. Trespassing.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
They don’t do any harm.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The dark calico named Molly, and that little grey and white cat, they dash furtively in and out again.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I think they come for the catmint plant. But there is not much left of it.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Because that huge orange cat Louie rolled on it and nibbled it.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
I’m afraid he did. He’s a cheeky cat.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
He has no respect, Madame. He would come in the night and sit looking at me with his provocative stare through the patio window. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
And that’s when you would wake everyone with your yowls. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Louie had the audacity to sit there and yowl back.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
He has always had a lot of nerve. But these days you’ve been asleep most of the time.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This petit cat does not have the energy for yowls. It is time for Winston to watch for the trespassers.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Seriously? Winston? Spooky Winston?
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Point made, Madame. Maybe it is time for Poppy to take over the patio window.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
