Choupette Has Three Maids

What makes all these “cat food” companies believe I, Choupette Lagerfeld, would lower my standards for their commercial benefit?

Despite being one of the most recognisable faces in the world, Karl Lagerfeld believes that his beloved cat, Choupette, is now more famous than him. The German-born designer is renowned for his attachment to the pampered pet, who often travels around with him on his private jet. The Chanel creative director goes to great lengths to ensure that Choupette — which means “sweetie” in French — is sufficiently attended to at all times while he’s working: she has three maids, and pays a visit to the vet for a check-up every 10 days.

— Hey, does Choupette know that we are well into the second day of India’s power outage, with 670 million people without power? Also why does Choupette speak English.
