German Police Busy Chasing a Cat, Only to Get More Confused

A bizarre 'creepy cat person' trend has recently taken hold in Germany. Someone has turned the 'Cat in the Hat' character from a children's book into a horror movie figure and is spreading photos of its supposed appearances everywhere. This has actually scared people enough to report it to the police. Police recently announced they've handled over 20 related incidents, but found no one at the scene each time. Even more absurdly, many of the photos and videos look like they were generated by AI. I'm literally dying laughing. Now, you don't even need to go out and scare people for urban legends; AI does the scaring, and the police do the searching. But seriously, wasting police resources like this is really annoying.
