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.
