Where did the El Gato Cat trend come from?

The trend first began with a bit of a misunderstanding. In a viral video using a TikTok original sound from Demon Slayer titled “Sonido original,” people thought the sound bite was saying “El Gato” – when in actuality, the sound bite was saying “arigato,” the Japanese phrase for “thank you.”

As with most audio on the video-based app, the sound went viral, and people began using it in videos that featured a paper printout of a cat.

The good thing about the El Gato trend is that it is entirely free, so you can print out as many kitty cats as your heart desires. And if you decide you want to contribute to the trend differently, go for it; some TikTok users have used real cats and other versions of the El Gato Cat printout in their own spins on the trend.
