pas chez moi

Je ne me sens pas chez moi // I do not feel at home
Today's inktober prompt is "misfit/inadapté".

Not sure what the cat is doing there, but well... mistakes were made, clearly.

Bastet has been featured here once before. This comparison is just asking to be made, innit (keeping in passive voice).

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.
