A new TikTok trend has taken the platform by storm, blending humor, creativity, and a touch of historical flair.
Dubbed "Habemus Papam," this viral sensation involves girls placing bras on their cats' heads to resemble papal miters, while overlaying the Latin phrase "Habemus Papam," which translates to "We have a Pope!"
The trend has sparked laughter and delight across social media, with users celebrating the adorable absurdity of their feline "pontiffs."
The phrase "Habemus Papam" traditionally marks the announcement of a new pope's election in the Catholic Church, delivered from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica.
In this TikTok twist, however, the "conclave" is a playful "Cat-oclave," where the chosen one—His Fluffiness—reigns supreme. Videos show cats donning makeshift miters (courtesy of their owners’ bras), often accompanied by dramatic music or the actual Latin announcement, creating a hilarious juxtaposition of sacred tradition and modern pet culture.

Posts on X reveal the trend’s popularity, with users sharing their joy at seeing cats crowned as popes, some even joking about the "Cat-oclave" officially electing these furry leaders.
The combination of the cats’ bewildered expressions, the absurdity of the bras, and the solemn Latin phrase has made this trend a standout, bringing a lighthearted spin to a centuries-old ritual.
As TikTok continues to evolve with quirky trends, "Habemus Papam" proves that even the most unexpected elements — like cats and bras — can create a moment of global amusement.
