That's awesome! Those people are cool.

[–]septchouettes 23 points24 points ago

This is in Quebec, right? I'm almost certain I took this exact picture there when I studied abroad a couple years ago! Very exciting to run into it on reddit. :)

[–]unikittens 6 points7 points ago

it is! 'Sur la rue de Clairefontaine, qui croise St-Jean dans le quartier St-Jean-Baptiste! (Entre les restaurants Tokyo et Carthage et en fasse de l'église St-Jean Baptiste)'

[–]ihavefivecats 15 points16 points ago

That is just fucking adorable.

[–]lamorsa92 11 points12 points ago

Thoughtful owners right there! My cat would love this! :3

[–]Cuppy_Cakes 10 points11 points ago

I love this. I'm off to go build a miniature ladder to my window as we speak.

[–]MisterSquirrel 3 points4 points ago

I'm going to go build a little cat escalator.

[–]Cuppy_Cakes 1 point2 points ago

One of my kitties is kinda chubby, he could probably do with the exercise.

[–]I_like_cats_ 1 point2 points ago

I love this, Pandering to cat's love of high places and laziness :)

[–]Neebat 2 points3 points ago

Be careful. If a human tries to use it, you run two risks:

  1. They might succeed, and rob you.
  2. They might fall and be injured.

You're liable for #2 in many cases.

[–]ihaveafajita 4 points5 points ago

I don't know these things, but are you still liable if it's clearly labeled "for cats only"?

[–]Neebat 2 points3 points ago

If you read the link (the one that's now been downvoted,) it doesn't matter how you label it if children will find it attractive.

[–]Cuppy_Cakes 2 points3 points ago

Haha, I am not actually planning on building a ladder! Besides, if someone wanted to break in they'd be better coming in through that back window that isn't ever locked. Just saying.

[–]jmwpc 10 points11 points ago

That looks like the invisible sign on every piece of furniture in my house that only my cats can see. Also, this awesome.

[–]veritablequandary 6 points7 points ago

what if a fox wanted to use that staircase

[–]mackenga 11 points12 points ago

It's just racism really, isn't it? ...

[–]TheDesktopNinja 8 points9 points ago

Species-ism. Racism would be like....

"American Shorthairs only! NO FUCK YOU, YOU GODDAMN MAINE COON. YOU CAN'T COME HERE."

[–]fringewanderer 1 point2 points ago

The more politically correct version might read, "ATTENTION: Faible hauteur libre. 25 centimeters maximum." (blame my sub-par French on Google Translate).

[–]TheDesktopNinja 0 points1 point ago

Well it's all greek to me. I ony no engish.

[–]fringewanderer 3 points4 points ago

"CAUTION: Low headroom. Maximum 25 centimeters."

[–]MisterSquirrel 4 points5 points ago

Don't be absurd, foxes can't read French.

[–]garhole 6 points7 points ago

C'est bon!

[–]walrus_0311 8 points9 points ago

Typical French Redditors

[–]iamayam 5 points6 points ago

Redditors typiques français

[–]GramGuy 5 points6 points ago

I thought it read "Four Chan's Staircase"

[–]hobblekitty 6 points7 points ago

I wouldn't go up 4chan's staircase if I were you. Lord only knows what you'll find.

[–]AliasAurora 2 points3 points ago

I am bewildered by the capitalization of the silent T in "chats".

[–]NobblyNobody 0 points1 point ago

I'm getting twitchy just looking at the shoddy state of all the woodwork in that shot. People stand on those balconies?

Maybe the sign applies to everything made of wood in that picture.

And the wiring! the wiring is for cats only too.

It's a health and safety nightmare

[–]ignitr 1 point2 points ago

I read that in Holme's voice ~Holmes on Homes: Airs Sunday Nights At 7/6c hgtv.

[–]zlid_blompt 1 point2 points ago

Someone should alert r/photoshop of this wonderful backdrop for a future competition.

[–]shibalover19 0 points1 point ago

That's reasonable.

[–]Icanus 1 point2 points ago

Chat alors!
(read it with a Northern France accent and lol uncontrollably)

[–]JimmyHavok 1 point2 points ago

You can see why they had to put the sign there, about two-thirds of the way up.

[–]JeremyKylesLovechild 0 points1 point ago

My grandad used to have a ladder up against the kitchen window for his three Siamese cats, and they used to come and go as they pleased. I often wondered how and why he didn;t get burgled, but I suspect the cats would kick up an awfully loud fuss should an intruder enter!

[–]ImurderREALITY 0 points1 point ago

I don't think any intruder could safely scale that rickety thing. Cat intruders on the other hand...

[–]pconner 2 points3 points ago

Faites attention au chat.

[–]WhiteBuddha 1 point2 points ago

Gotta fix that step...

[–]tvogr 0 points1 point ago

Chouette, mais mon chat ne l'utiliserait pas...

[–]tylerwatt12 -1 points0 points ago

They have DirecTV in France?

[–]MeShellG 12 points13 points ago

Could also be from Quebec.
