Taking a unique approach, TikTok user @blisei showcased their creativity by incorporating a kitten into the trend. In their video, they playfully placed a question mark emoji next to the word "tan," humorously suggesting uncertainty about the feline's complexion. Additionally, since the kitten is not a girl, a "X" appeared next to the word "girl." And the video concluded with the adorable kitty engaging in playful jumps.
