It is a "sous-préfecture", not a big one, but with definitely an urban architecture. Sarlat has a great concentration of historical buildings and of restaurants offering local food to catch tourists : foie gras, truffles and (sorry) duck magrets. The prices are reasonable but the food is better if you go in the villages around.
Is it the cat of your neighbors or have you adopted a cat now ?

@topffer I am ashamed to confess that I had magrets de canard au poivre vert a few times. I felt guilty, but it was good.
The cat is the one of the family who moved last year (thanks God they moved). They had 5 cats, they "left" this behind pretending that he could not adjust to the new place. I adopted him poor cat. The name is Gevi and this is a photo of him.

Maybe the cat was a big cat such as a leopard or the like. House cats where I live would even be terrified by a big mouse.

@topffer I have noticed that house cats have lost their ability to hunt their food. They know that human beings will keep them safe and lazy.

@marguicha Very true, and this cat thinks that he owns the house and that I am his servant

@topffer Why do you ask, Top? Do you believe you're "bizarre"?

I do not have a cat and I am a bit scared of them. So, I enjoy them from a distance. If they come close, they freak me out

Afore sayin what I was thinking really thinking I did not know that le chat was french for el gato the cat or summat else.
Jerry is my favourite cartoon cat and Mr. Jinks and er like er sheesh he hates meeces to peeces
Maybe the said cat spats at everyone being on the defensive?
The song "El Gato Que Esta Triste Y Azul" by Roberto Carlos comes to mind.
Great to see you back mate our kid.

Sorry to be late to respond Sue. How do you do ? We are still glued in that covid thing and are needing to show a vaccination passport for quite everything here, so I stayed in France this summer.
Yes, chat is cat, I believe this English word has French origins like many. Un gato azul ? I see one with beautiful porcelain-blue eyes, but I don't remember to have seen a blue cat.

We are none the wiser tops after all that some have not got their Covid Passports yet seems to be some big kind of mix up as usual.
So sorry you have to use that thing to go anywhere its like it here in some places too.
I saw the protests the other week in Paris about it all too.
Lots of goings on about the electric going up super high all of a sudden here and now the volcano has erupted in La Palma Gran Canarias a lot of people´s houses wiped out for good they are homeless at the moment.
Yes cat being le chat is very logical.
I was wondering by how old the door is the cat as old as that too and maybe that is why its freaky?
I pepper with a bit of humour here and there.
At this rate to be able to go England this year I might take out a spanish passport as I have the I.D. as the UK is messing me around too grrr.
Sooo, I yam going to turn the spanisha

@lovinangelsinstead21 I would also need a passport, mine is too old now, but I will wait to see if the world is re-opening to tourism. For the EU I have my ID card.
I saw something about the volcano. I wonder why people are building at the foot of a volcano, it should be forbidden. This said losing a home is not fun, I hope a solution will be found for these people.
The screws of the sign look new on the photo, DE asked me if I had not fixed it on the door

I think you probably stuck that sign up just so you'd have something to tell us.
I have seen some cats acting odd but not lately. (The cat that belongs next-door likes to sit under my car and watch the world go by... but I think it's hiding from the humans it owns. The kids aren't nice to it and the adults ignore it. So can't really blame it for hiding.)

@topffer Pretty thinks I'll run over it when she sees it under there. I keep telling her the cat has nothing to fear from the car, she should worry about the kids catching it.
You haven't posted anything in a while... I thought a cat got your tongue.

Yes the three cats are. Buster isn't because he's always scared of things than freaky.

No, mine do not seem to be freaky. I would be watching out if I was in that neighborhood.

Oh, chat is cat in French? Wow I learned something new today! Haha.
I have also never seen such a sign as that anywhere. Usually there are warning signs for dogs but maybe their cat is way crazier. Haha.

Both chat and cat have probably the same Latin origin, "cattus". You probably know more French than you think, 10% of English words have a French origin Like Clemenceau said "England is just a French colony that turned bad"
Lol, maybe is it a panther or a jaguar.

I would say all 6 of my felines are freaky in their own ways. Each have a very unique personality and their own quirks.
