[Still not sure what VBP is? Check here.]
I admit it, and not reluctantly (VBP), I have been having fun finding idioms and expressions related to kitties both in English and in French. This is my third post (first here, second there) and I want to mention all the expressions you shared.
Yes, I think this bi-cultural (VBP) interest is the cat’s meow… or the cat’s pyjamas.
Unfortunately, there is no exact French translation for these expressions, at least none with the word cat. An appropriate translation, depending on the context, could be le fin du fin (the best of the best, or la crème de la crème – nom!).
Now, let me illustrate the cat’s meow according to Kitshka (we hope we get it right).
Would you say my tocks are the cat’s meow for Kitshka?
If you are interested in learning more about French expressions that are about cats, we would like to suggest this page done by our furriends at Autour des Chats. It is very well done!
We will also keep on featuring (VBP) French and English expressions here =^.^=

Happy VBP week, furriends!
Oh those PICTURES wipe out any other thing I could meow…I love them that much.
Definitely the cat’s meow…purr-r-r-r-r ❤
Well, Motor Mommy and I learned a new word today: tocks! You & Little K are TOO cute!
Purrs, Sundae
I’m going to try out my french. I learned it in a song. Ready? ” Voulez vous couche avec chat?” How’s that? – Crepes.
Crepes, hmmm, this is a family blog, furriend.
Hmmm… who are you asking this to?
Hmmm…
Creme de la creme is right! Beautiful pics!
French! Mommy had to takes it in school but trhat was a million Zillion years ago and she can’t remember very much. (except the HBO Words)

Texas, your tocks are the Cat’s Meow all right, and not just for Kitshka either.
Our mom loves vocabulary and other languages, but French was not for her. She bombed it in school & did much better with Spanish. Probably because nothing is pronounced the way its spelled, from an English perspective. We American are horrible and ignorant about pronouncing other languages. We think everything about Kitshka is the cats meow! He is so handsome!
Oops! That should be “Americans” and “cat’s”. A little proof reading would have helped.
* smile * Lovely post.
OK from next week we begin our fortnightly VBP posts (we are SO enjoying yours) These alternate with our interviews and allow us to do justice to VBP. Mum is a literacy tutor and appreciates your VBP work.
Looks like a great pillow to me!
Keep them coming Texas, we’re enjoying them enormously. She does look awfully comfy ;-)
We are enjoying these too. They are the cats’ meow!
Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
Tout mimi, tout craquant!
Kitshka knows a good pillow when she sees it Texas…..apparently your rear end is EVER so comfy!!! Love the pix…..
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
i fink you should just start the trend “c’est les pyjama du chat!” it even sounds better in french. someone ought to contact L’Academie Francaise and let them know they need to make the addition. allez-y. ;-D
The kitties look pretty happy! We have German as a second language, no French here even though I am a French Scent Hound ;)
Oh the pictures are just gorgeous I love them. Look at the smile.. Hugs GJ xx
Purrfect! The cat’s meow for sure!!
Those photos just summed it up purrfectly!
one happy moggie x
Hi Texas! I think you perfectly illustrated this expression, well done! Purrs.
Hello Texas

You two look meowingly happy and content! Guess that definitely is an example of “the cat’s meow.” Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
You guys do a great job modeling the expression! I am upset that I missed last week’s VBP, but hopefully I can join for this week’s.
Yup, your rocks are definitely pretty special to Kitshka! That’s love!
This is so sweet :)
