Hobbes (Ansem's Cat)
Hobbes (Ansem's Cat) is the pet cat of Solana super-influencer Ansem (blknoiz06), whose name reveal in April 2024 sparked one of the fastest cat-coin runs in memecoin history and turned a private house cat into a recurring mascot of Crypto Twitter.
Origin
Ansem, one of the most-followed traders on Crypto Twitter and an early Solana and dogwifhat champion, had long teased followers with glimpses of his cat. During April 2024's peak 'cat mania' he confirmed the cat's name as Hobbes, and traders raced to launch a namesake $HOBBES token on Solana within hours of the reveal.
Spread
Fueled by Ansem's reach and his half-joking teaser about 'the first cat to a dollar,' $HOBBES rocketed to roughly a $98M market cap on over $170M of volume inside 24 hours, drawing coverage from Benzinga, SolanaFloor and others and becoming a symbol of the 2024 cat-coin wave that briefly pushed cat-token caps toward $1.9B.
Legacy
Hobbes cemented the pattern of a real influencer's pet becoming instant community lore on Solana. The name and the ginger-cat imagery have been revived by community traders in later cycles, keeping Hobbes a durable crypto-native reference alongside Ansem's other stunts like the dogwifhat Sphere and Wall Street bull 'hat' campaigns.
