“Thanks a million to all of you my fans, animal lovers, and daddy admirers,” Choupette’s new owner wrote in an Instagram post on Monday (May 1). “You all have shown the kindest enthusiasm and unconditional support, I say MERCI! Many people invited me to walk the red carpet at #METGALA2023 as a tribute to dad, but we prefer to stay calm and comfortable at home. We pay tribute to my Papi every day since his departure and we are very excited to see another day dedicated to him ”.
While Choupette didn’t make it to the 2023 Met Gala, several celebrities paid tribute to the graceful feline.
