Where it startedOriginal posted Oct 19, 2026

Where the trend came from

The pet martial arts concept began in July 2026 with dogs chopping toilet paper. Creator @rydersgolden shared a golden retriever wearing a white headband on July 29, 2026, gaining 2.79 million views, and the dog format reached over 52.5 million views across 2,273 clips by October 24.

On October 19, 2026, Malaysian TikTok creator @lynn59716 shifted the idea to felines by posting an orange cat chopping two tissues to Kung Fu Fighting. That post gained 9.2 million views and 1.8 million likes by October 24, leading to takes by @chinatok691, @iampidan, and an early AI remake by @cissycat7 on October 22.

What it means

Owners share this video to turn everyday cats and dogs into skilled martial artists. It presents gentle house pets as disciplined fighters through silly, high-energy tissue slicing.

The format suits any pet owner who wants to showcase their animal in a lighthearted action clip. It also works for people who want to see their own face perform the strikes.
