Ils passaient leur temps à chasser les souris, et ils revenaient seulement à la maison quand ils étaient bredouilles, pour qu’on leur donne à bouffer, qu’on les caresse un peu et qu’on les laisse dormir sur le canapé... Madison – Oui, eh bien ce chat-là ne mange pas de souris.

They spent their time hunting mice, and they only came back home when they were unsuccessful—so they could get something to eat, get a little petting, and be allowed to sleep on the sofa...
Madison—Yeah, well, 'that' cat doesn't eat mice.
