Comedy legend and Monty Python star John Cleese, 74, dared to throw
shade at something dear to Taylor Swift 's heart—her new cat, Olivia
Benson. To the singer's face.
The white-haired kitty is a Scottish Fold, a breed with a genetic mutation in which the cartilage of its ears appear folded.
"How did it have the accident?" Cleese asked Swift, 24, as they appeared together onThe Graham Norton Show in London.
"What? What accident?" she said, seemingly confused.
"Is that a proper cat?" he continued. "Or is it damaged? That's the weirdest cat I've ever seen in my life."
Oh, it's on. And it's payback time.

"John Cleese! You CANNOT say that is the weirdest cat you've ever seen in your life!" host Graham Norton said.
A picture of a Cleese's wife Jennifer Wade holding their large long-haired black cat was then shown on screen.
"It's a monster!" Swift, showcasing her trademark astonished look.
"It's
an American breed and the reason it's not here tonight is it didn't
want to come," Cleese said, turning to a glaring Taylor.
She did warm up to the comedy legend, scooting over to him as fellow guest Kevin Pietersen,
South African cricketer, talked about how he is "not a massive fan" of
cats, as he is allergic to them. Cleese then said he preferred cats to
dogs.
"They're unpredictable and cussed, like women," he said, turning to Swift.
