If I read your question correctly, no, it is not. You would say 'I saw that ____ recently' e.g. I saw that cat recently! This usually means that you saw it once.
Or in a different context: I see that _____ frequently. e.g. I see that boy frequently. This is in the present tense and means that you see the boy a lot and still see him, whereas in the first sentence it is unclear.
Sorry if this was confusing!
