Karl Lagerfeld Cat Uses iPad, Has 2 Maids and A Twitter Account
Karl Lagerfeld's eccentricity is known throughout the world. His most prized companion is a nine-month-old Siamese cat named Choupette, and she is as eccentric as her owner.
"She is kept like a woman," Lagerfeld recently told Woman's Wear Daily. "She has a strong personality. She has lunch and dinner with me on the table, with her own food. She doesn't touch my food. She doesn't want to eat on the floor. She sleeps under a pillow, and she even knows how to use an iPad. She has two personal maids, for both night and day. She is beyond spoiled!"
Not only do the maids attend to Choupette's every need and want, they also write down what she does while Lagerfeld is away.

"When I am not there, the maids take down, in little books, everything she did, from what she ate to how she behaved, if she was tired and if she wasn't sleeping. We have almost 600 pages. It could be funny to make a little book out of Choupette's diary," Lagerfeld added.
The pampered kitty was a gift from Baptise Giabiconi, the French model and singer, who asked Lagerfeld to "babysit" Choupette for two weeks. When the time came for Choupette to return to Baptise, he simply "refused to give her back."
Since then, Choupette has not wanted for anything, including her very own Twitter account. That's right: the cat now tweets with her 2,051 followers- an amazing amount, given that her Twitter account was opened just yesterday.
"Being spoiled is a state of mind & my state of mind is currently being pampered," reads one of her tweets. Under her personal description, Choupette writes: "I'm a famous beauty who refuses to eat on the floor & my maids pamper my every need."
"Baptiste may think he is a muse but only I, Choupette, am Lagerfeld's true muse," the cat's first tweet reads.
