What the Tying Shoes Money video looks like

This is the original. Your photo replaces its lead, so your video follows the same shots with your face. No two runs come out exactly the same.

The linked TikTok from @merkurianin was posted on Nov 11, 2026, and its caption credits @Jaywicwya for the park clip. It shows a black cat and a tip cup. This page shows the original muted; your photo takes the cat’s place while the path and passer-by sequence stay. Watch the original post

Where it startedOriginal posted Nov 11, 2026

Where the trend came from

The linked AI cat version is by @merkurianin on TikTok and was posted on Nov 11, 2026. The post caption credits @Jaywicwya for the park clip that the version reworks.

The remix showed 1.3M views on Nov 13 and 1.4M on Nov 14. On Nov 14, it had 138K likes in the metadata we could read.

What it means

The scene turns a small mix-up around a cup into a playful tip-jar moment. The cat’s wide grin is the payoff as people leave money on the path.

The reference version uses a black cat, while the page lets one person or pet take its place. The park, cup and passers-by remain part of the source scene.
