Mistral Le Chat

For everyone not speaking french: "le chat" in french translates to "the cat". So I guess that's a play on words that works given the context and probably the mostly not native french audience.

Many french will call a chat app a "chat" not with the french pronunciation.

Thanks. At the mercy of Chrome's translation it says 'Cat' everywhere.

Merci for the clarification.

Genuinely curious, what context would explain something relating to a cat?

My first reaction as a French native speaker was to read it as "the chat", considering that "chat" is a well-known Anglicism in French.
