Following last week's news that one-year-old Arizona-based housecat, and Internet meme, Grumpy Cat had secured a movie deal that could make her the new Garfield, Karl Lagerfeld—owner of one-year-old Paris-based housecat and Internet celebrity Choupette—has delivered a sound bite that will return his angelic, jet-setting feline to the headlines, alongside her American nemesis.

During a discussion with CNN's Alina Cho on an episode of Fashion Week: Backstage Pass, airing tonight, the Chanel designer discusses the depth of his love for Choupette—a white Siamese cat he spoils with personal maids, private-jet rides, iPads, her own chauffeur, and four-piece silver table settings. “There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals,” Lagerfeld laments. “I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat.” Lagerfeld's affection for Choupette is well documented, thanks to multiple interviews in which he raves about the feline's entitled disposition and declares her the most famous cat in the world.

Because the interview would not be complete without a legendary Karl Lagerfeld put-down, Cho also coaxes the designer into discussing Adele, whom he called “a little too fat” last year before reportedly sending her apology handbags. “I never said that she was fat,” Lagerfeld clarifies. “I said that she was a little roundish. A little roundish is not fat. But for such a beautiful girl, after that she lost eight kilo, so I think the message was not that bad.”
