I get the joke in the title, but not the one in the image. Is "cat sank" a homophone with something in French?

The numbers four and five (quatre, cinq) are pronounced like ‘cat’ and ‘sank’ in informal spoken French.

Ah, ok. So I'm not an idiot. I just don't speak french! Whew!

GUYS!!! IT'S OK!!! I'M NOT AN IDIOT AFTERALL!!!

Just in case you ever want it, here's the French spelling:

"Un deux trois quatre cinq" (12345)

That's awesome, I'd like to say lol, but it's really just funny enough to get a big grin

4 = quatre ("cat"), 5 = cinq ("sank")

it's the kind of joke that further diminishes my already mutilated will to live
