Bonjour, tout le monde! I'm just back from France. Yes, I've been spending a little time in Paris, soaking up some culture. That's where I got this little chapeau. Tres chic, n'est pas? Je suis une jolie fille.
Quelle heure est-il? Le crayon rouge is sur la table!
Ah, Paris. I would wake up in the morning, and walk down the Champs-Elysees. Everyone would put down their cigarettes to wave to me, and call out, "Bonjour Errer Chat!"
Then I'd stop in at my favorite café, where my favorite garcon, Jean-Claude, would give me a bowl of lait, and a plate of fresh poisson. Oo la la!
Sometimes he'd even give me some fromage!
Ah, fromage! Le yum!
Then I'd trot off to the Jardin des Tuileries, where I'd spend the day lying in the soleil and chasing les oiseaux. Oh, that's "birds" for those of you who don't parle francais.
But now I'm back home. Back to quaint, simple, down-to-earth A2K. I just hope I'm not too cultured and sophisticated for this place now.
Oo la la!!
Big hug to the frenchy cat, er, le chat.
Or something like that.
tell us more, por favoir, or words like that.
More? Well, let's see. Sometimes I'd sit up in the Tour Eiffel, and just look out over Paree!
Stray Cat, you've been astray! Good to see ya back
Toute le monde,
I can't go on like this! The truth is I......I wasn't in Paris! In fact, .......
I've never been to France!
I.........just wanted you to................like.......me.............
Ohhhh! I can't believe I've been living with this lie for the past hour! IT'S BEEN HORRIBLE!
Can you........forgive me?
Of course.
So why haven't you been there, you lucky kitty who lives on the east coast US...
Them stray cats, ya know? They wander off, they wander back, and they're always welcome.
Phew! Thanks guys! ..............now I have to figure out how to get this hat off my head.......

Yet.
Yes, some day you'll come around here, Stray Cat, and you'll see it's even more beautiful than you think!
Merci, Francis! Please tell the oiseaux that some day, I'll be there to chase them!

Is that how you say stray Cat in French?
Stray = Error?

Oui!
That's not an easy thing to translate.
A stray cat is, here, un "chat errant" or "chat vagabond". But it's too formal and not really used in everyday language.
I do prefer, because it has a friendly connotation, un
chat de gouttière.

I'll tell them, we are birds of a feather...
When you do get to Paris, Stray Cat, just watch out for that lady killer Pepe le Peu. From what I hear, a sweet little innocent like yourself would be a pushover for a guy like that. :wink:
