"Le petit chat est mort": Molière line meets a real cat's grave
Original: le petit chat est mort Molière, L'École des femmes, acte II, scène 6 / Grave Of Tiddles, The Church Cat, St. Mary's Chur

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.
Why now: The clever pairing of a famous Molière quote with a real cat's grave photo is being shared and amused over right now.
