It all started with a seemingly innocuous TikTok video of an enormous black cat doing a silly bouncing dance, emerging from the roof of a South Florida auto body shop.
Drawing just as much intrigue was the video’s caption: “Guys I lied on my resume, and got a job doing the social media of this body shop, please blow this up so I don’t get fired.”
The public ate it up: The shop became a social-media sensation in less than seven days, in part thanks to a video of that dancing cat. The goofy cat video drew more than 23 million views. And with more videos, the views only skyrocketed: The @clancysautobody account’s posts overall have resulted in more than 60 million views.
