NEW YORK (AP) — Karl Lagerfeld’s fluffy pampered cat, Choupette, was a star in her own right. But an Instagram post on Monday revealed she’ll stay in France instead of attending the Met Gala. The white Birmin has creamy markings akin to baked Alaska and stunning blue eyes. She was born Aug. 15, 2011. At 10 weeks or so, she was given to Baptiste Giabiconi, one of Lagerfeld’s model friends in Paris. Giabiconi asked Lagerfeld to take the cat while he was on holiday. Besotted, the designer kept her as his own and quickly turned Choupette into a pampered international star. She had her own maids, bodyguards, custom Louis Vuitton carriers, silver bowls and a jet-set lifestyle.
