Craignez la colère

 

Craignez la colère de l'chat patient // Fear the wrath of the patient cat

Although today's quote comes from Citation Célèbre website, it doesn't really. Partially because the citation doesn't deal with cats, but with men, in a typical anthropocentric manner. Partially because they say it is an Irish proverb, while it is a quote from John Dryden, quoting Publilius Syrus.

The cat, as we all know, is very patient. Look at him there, patiently filing his claw, as all patient cats do, at least according to some memes out there.

"Almost" doesn't count

Le canapé entre presque dans la voiture // The sofa almost fits into the car

Today, another delightful phrase from Duolingo.

Everybody who ever moved house knows how frustrating it is when things almost, but not quite, fit into other things.

Here is the cat, helping his friend (on the right) to move house (déménager). His friend feels rather sorry she has asked for this small favour.

Judging by the general fit and by one ear sticking out, the pictured vehicle must be Fiat 500 with a sunroof.
