Make that < 2,680 replys.
Which would make it over 103 iterations.

Unless I'm completely crazy (and that's possible), I think we're talking about dancing (playing) mice, here.

Why would "souris" be "mice," though...?

Xactly sure I am not, but I think it translates as "When the cat is not there, the mice dance."
or
"When the cat's away, the mice will play."

Zat will be "la souris, f (French), the mouse". Maybe ta thought of "le sourire, m (French), the smile"?

Didn't French come from Latin? And isn't latin for mouse "mus?" So whence "souris?"

Etymologie de «souris» (grace à Wikipedia): "Du latin populaire soricem, accusatif de sōrῑx, altération du latin classique sōrex, sorĭcis... Le nom de Sorex est cependant utilisé en taxonomie pour désigner le genre des musaraignes."
(rough) From the vulgar Latin "soricem", accusative form of "sorix", a variant of classical Latin sorex, soricis. "Sorex" is now used in taxonomy to designate a genus of shrews.
