I\u2019ve had dogs in my life, but it was when I lived in the countryside. In Paris, as in all big cities, it\u2019s a bit more complicated. As you&nbsp;can imagine, I could no longer take the risk of walking a dog in the street, there\u2019d be a riot. And a dog, well it\u2019s anything but nice and clean, and when it rains they smell like a dead rat. I had two friends who had a cat, and they were always completely over&nbsp;the top in terms of affection, so much so I found it completely ridiculous. Well now, can you believe it, I\u2019m even worse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>What was it about her that you immediately liked?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I like being calm, and my cat is a presence that counts but&nbsp;isn\u2019t encumbering. She is peaceful, funny, fun and gracious, she\u2019s pretty to look at and has good poise, but her main quality is&nbsp;that she doesn\u2019t talk. It was love at first sight. Baptiste [Giabiconi] was going on holiday and asked if he could leave her with&nbsp;the staff at my house while he was away. She was still a baby at the time, and I found her so cute that when Baptiste came&nbsp;home I&nbsp;said to him, \u201cSorry but I\u2019m keeping her!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Did you have animals when you were growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, I\u2019m a child of the countryside. I had a dog who I adored, but he died very young. One day, when I was 7 or 8 years old, he ran towards me and fell down dead at my feet.<br \/>\r\nIt vaccinated me against animals for many years. Much later, in my various country abodes, I had a dachshund called&nbsp;Lobb and a Jack&nbsp;Russell called Ashton.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Is yours a greedy little kitty?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now she\u2019s an adult she dines with me. She sits opposite me&nbsp;and eats what she has to eat. Before she might have attacked any old prawn, but now she will only touch the four different dishes prepared for her on that day, served in fabulous bowls. Everything must be very fresh, otherwise Mademoiselle sits in front of her biscuits for three quarters of an hour giving me filthy looks, without eating a thing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Is her coat always so shiny?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She is brushed four times a day, and she is very body conscious. In fact she has maintained her ideal weight of 3.5&nbsp;kilos since she reached adult size. She goes to the doctor once&nbsp;a month \u2013 to the famous Dr. Horn\u2019s very chic clinic next door to Dior \u2013 even though she\u2019ll sulk with the people who took her&nbsp;for three days afterwards. But what she hates most of all is being manicured. That is why I never do her claws.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Speaking of manicures, when did you last get your claws out?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s a permanent state. I\u2019m always ready to get them out, and that\u2019s why, in fact, I wear mittens.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How did you teach your cat not to scratch the Zaha Hadid sofa?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I didn\u2019t have to say anything, she scratches on her cat scratcher&nbsp;or the door mat. But I wouldn\u2019t care if she damaged something. I would forgive her.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Even if it was a nasty habit of pissing all over the parquet?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She has never soiled the floors, even when she was three months old. She has always been very clean and spends her life washing herself. She smells very good. Really. I don\u2019t perfume her, she hates that. As soon as she sees a spray she runs. At home I hardly dare perfume myself she hates it so much. She has a nice natural odour. Which isn\u2019t the case with everyone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>In terms of litter deodorizers, are you herbal, floral or vanilla?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Vanilla.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Have you had her neutered?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>What a ghastly word. But in answer to your question,&nbsp;yes, I preferred her to be a virgin forever. In any case, she loathes other animals. And she hates children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t cats scratch at the door when they want something \u2013 like certain people we know?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Absolutely not. In fact I have no idea where this legend comes from or what kind of cats other people have. She sleeps next to my pillow and never asks anything of anyone. When she comes to eat she looks at me as if she were asking me deep philosophical questions, and I sometimes wonder if I shouldn\u2019t talk about Kierkegaard. As for her expressions, they range&nbsp;from silent-movie vamp to 17th-century tragic painting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Like master, like cat?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Are you referring to the white hair?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Is your cat for or against the exploitation of animal fur?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That is a subject she absolutely doesn\u2019t give a damn about.<br \/>\r\nAnd rightly so, she has other fish to fry. She is very sought after. Two books are going to be published about her, she has a line&nbsp;of make-up for Shu Uemura about to be launched, and she has an ambassador\u2019s role for Opel, a subsidiary of General Motors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>When you\u2019re alone, do you converse at length with your cat?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Probably, yes. At my age you are never far from senility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>And what do you say to her?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nonsense. Banalities. I invent little names for her. I can also&nbsp;tell you she is very sporty: she jumps over the back of the bed as if it were a speed bump in the road. It\u2019s her favourite game. Another game she adores \u2013 and it\u2019s her who decides \u2013 consists of jumping into my arms for me to carry her around the apartment like a baby. After a while I can\u2019t carry on because it\u2019s impossible to put her down without her moving and the claws coming out. I have already had to walk around the apartment ten times without her deigning to get down. She has reduced&nbsp;me to a slave.&nbsp;<em>Las Meninas<\/em>&nbsp;by Vel\u00e1zquez is the painting that comes closest to Choupette\u2019s life \u2013 the Infanta in the middle in white with everyone fussing around her.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Does your cat purr when you stroke her?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>No, no, no! She is much more sophisticated than that,&nbsp;a sort of silent Jean Harlow. Cats shouldn\u2019t be crushed under tenderness. It\u2019s very bad for them. Her ladies-in-waiting&nbsp;always tend to do that, but I myself wait for her to come to me. She\u2019s the one who gives me a kiss, or jumps up onto my knee,&nbsp;not the other way around. She hates being alone at home, doesn\u2019t like being left in the dark, but equally there\u2019s no need to bother her with a cuddle every five minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Is she jealous?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to say because I\u2019ve never put her in a competitive situation. What I do know is that she doesn\u2019t particularly like my godson, Hudson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Are there people who, in spite of yourself, you feel obliged to rub up the right way?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If I do that it\u2019s because I\u2019m someone\u2026 nice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>If you yourself were a cat, would you be a cute little kitty or a big tom?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A big tom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>And who would you make your mouse?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Choupette doesn\u2019t frequent rodents, and as for me, I don\u2019t eat meat. So the question doesn\u2019t even arise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Does your cat know how to host?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She doesn\u2019t host. I have several residences in Paris, and Choupette lives in the one where I never receive guests. On the very rare occasions we take her out, it\u2019s to see rare and exceptional guests like Caroline de Monaco, who also has a cat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t you find the way cats raise their tails somewhat shameless?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>No. I\u2019m not a sex maniac, and I see nothing indecent in the way cats lift their tails. Choupette always does it very graciously.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Have you ever had whiskers?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>No. I\u2019m very dark and a moustache makes me look like an Argentinian brothel keeper. I had a beard for two years, but I didn\u2019t like it because it was itchy. I liked the idea of not having&nbsp;to shave every morning, even though it was very well-kept \u2013 a sort of very black and tidy lawn. But in the end I felt like I had dandruff spending my life scratching, so I got rid of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Out of Tom Ford, Nicolas Ghesqui\u00e8re and Hedi Slimane, who is the most pussycat of the three?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I haven\u2019t slept with any of them, so I\u2019ve no idea about their intimate habits.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Num\u00e9ro: When did you decide to get a kitten Karl?
