Tiddles

A well-known line from Molière's L'École des femmes — Agnès's « le petit chat est mort » from Act II, scene 6 — is being paired with a photograph of the grave of Tiddles, the church cat of St Mary's Church in Fairford, Gloucestershire, England. The juxtaposition of the classic French theatre quote with an actual cat's tombstone is delighting readers and prompting jokes about where the French expression comes from.
