Choupette (born August 15, 2011) is the pet cat of Karl Lagerfeld, head of design and creative director at Chanel. Originally belonging to the French male model Baptiste Giabiconi, Choupette was given as a gift to Lagerfeld around Christmas 2011 following a stay with the designer while Giabiconi was abroad.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lagerfeld's Love )〕 Her first media appearance was made via the social networking service Twitter on January 16, 2012,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Karl Lagerfeld's Cat Choupette Launches Her Own Twitter Account )〕 @ChoupettesDiary, when ''V'' magazine's Stephen Gan tweeted a photo of her from Lagerfeld's apartment. With the launch of Choupette's own Twitter account (authored by Ashley Tschudin) in June 2012 and multiple 'interviews' in high-end fashion magazines, her celebrity has grown, prompting Lagerfeld to remark "People are stunned by her ... Soon people will talk more about Choupette than about me!"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= When Grazia Met King Karl )〕 As of March 2015, she has more than 46,000 fans on the Twitter account invented in her honor.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/05/fashion/karl-lagerfeld-on-fur-yea-selfies-nay-and-keeping-busy.html〕 In June 2013, Lagerfeld announced that he wished to marry Choupette. He said in an interview with CNN, "There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals… I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat." == Online personality and media appearances == Choupette's supposed personality, constructed primarily through her Twitter and Instagram accounts (@ChoupettesDiary), is one of a fierce, high-maintenance, spoiled madam, presumably an amalgamation of the various stereotypical character traits and eccentricities surrounding individuals in the fashion industry, not least of Lagerfeld himself. Among her particularities is her use of the Apple iPad, her quoted 'choice' to eat at table next to Lagerfeld, and her love of antique lace, Colette shopping bags and Goyard. She has two "beloved" maids, Françoise and Marjorie, who tend to Choupette (a task that includes taking care of her hair and other beauty jobs) and keep a diary of her activities and moods for the reference of Lagerfeld and an on-call vet. Of the two maids, Choupette is said to prefer Françoise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Kat Daddy )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Choupette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
