Date: 26th July 2026
Pumping hard as a brand-new Solana memecoin (~4 hours old as of note) because of a strong community narrative tying it to Kabosu's owner (the original Doge dog).
The narrative: On July 26, 2026, @kabosumama (Atsuko Sato, owner of Kabosu) posted about a newly rescued tiny kitten on her blog (kabosuchan.blog). The cat is named Momo (モモちゃん) — a small, affectionate, rescued cat she's caring for. Crypto Twitter quickly connected the dots:
- Someone speculated about the name.
- A reply suggested "how about we just run CATE, just like DOGE."
- "Cate" has long been an old internet meme as the "cat version of Doge."
- The token launched almost immediately on Pump.fun / PumpSwap.
It is not officially endorsed or named by kabosumama (the actual name is Momo, and there is no confirmation she's aware of or supporting the token). The market is trading the community-spun story: "Doge's mom got a cat → CATE is the cat counterpart to DOGE." Simple, sticky, and easy to spread — classic Solana memecoin fuel.
Extreme coordinated trading group coin, appreciated by normies, promoted on TikTok. It surged roughly 230x in a day, briefly hitting ~$9.5–11M market capitalisation before cooling, then continued climbing.
- All-time high: ~$87.5M
