Here we go again, another school year and another social media trend. Remember the "killer clown" a few years ago...What Is the ‘Cat in the Hat’ Trend?
"Dozens of videos on TikTok and other platforms early Tuesday show users dressed as the tall, black-and-white cat first featured in the classic 1957 book. In these videos, users can be seen lurking outside of windows, homes or along isolated highways. Some of the content appears to be AI-generated, and some clips have led to arrests.

Where Did the Trend Originate?
The viral phenomenon that has prompted responses from schools and authorities from Texas to Michigan to Colorado originated last month on Snapchat and later spread on X in a viral post with more than 10 million views, in the UK. The trend then took off on other platforms, including TikTok, where some videos have depicted the character as a "serial killer" or someone who appears to want to cause widespread alarm."
