Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé ici?

Beaucoup de choses peuvent se produire pendant trois cent trente-trois générations //
Many things can happen during three hundred and thirty-three generations

We started on family (a cousin of my half brother is not my sister and all that jazz).
So I thought it will be fun to build the family tree (arbre généalogique) of the cat. But I very soon understood that I need to leave a lot of lacunae in it — in fact, one very large lacuna.
333 cat generations might not be exact but the number pleases me visually.
Bastet is his 333rd great grandmother. I am not sure if arrière (x333) is correct, but I think it conveys the meaning. Ra, the Sun god, is “The Great He-She” so (s)he is Bastet’s father and mother (Egyptians were funny that way).
In other news: my laptop started to miss almost all of the “h”s. So I am acquiring a sort of written Cockney accent ’ere.
