An orange tabby cat named Suki became the first honorary feline graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. According to FOX 7, UT student Francesca Bourdier spent most of her college career at home like any other college student, on Zoom with her cat by her side.
Bourduer said Suki attended every class she had online so she knew she had to include the one-and-a-half-year-old cat when graduation came around.
Through a quick search online, Bourdier was even able to buy Suki her own cap and gown.
I don't think so. Probably a trend that started from some biased material that went viral.
