Si je n’arrive pas à le retrouver rapidement, il va mourir... C’est un chat d’appartement, vous comprenez, il n’est pas fait pour vivre en liberté dehors...
Alexandre – Eh bien c’est tout à fait regrettable.

If I can’t find him quickly, he'll die... He’s an indoor cat, you see, he can't live on his own outside...
Alexandre – Well, that’s a real pity.

It would be "she" for a female cat.
by marina 3 months agoYes, I saw that you started with "he" and I continued to use "he" in the next sentences. But now I'm thinking about that, I remember that a long tie ago we translated a short story from English to French and that "le chat" was feminine in English and not neutral, like the words ship, boat...
by francevw 3 months agoOf course. Thanks France.
by marina 3 months agoAs she seems really upset, I started with "he".
How about...
