Upload one photo of your cat and it becomes the kitten in the middle of the dancing kittens clip. It stands on its back legs by a road at night, paws up, and dances to the beat with the two kittens next to it.
Want all three to be yours? Add up to 3 photos, one for each kitten. Every role here is a pet, so a photo of a person won't work.
We tested it with a photo of an orange tabby. It took the middle spot on the first try, and the other two kittens stayed as they were.
What happens in the clip
Three kittens stand side by side at the edge of a road at night. They're up on their back legs with their paws in the air, and they dance together in time with the beat.
The full version is 11 seconds. The short version is 6 seconds, which is easy to post as a quick loop.
Your cat keeps its own face and coat. It takes the pose and the moves of the kitten it replaces, so it dances along with the other two.
The trend behind it
The clip comes from @meowtakeover on TikTok. The account posts a series of AI kittens called “Gatitos”: kittens on the street, on the beach, in the water, and in clips like “Gatitoshakito”.
This one went up on 29 June 2026. When we checked on 9 November 2026, it had 108 million plays.
People are still copying it. In the 7 days to 9 November, at least 35 AI pet posts used this format, and 11 different creators posted their own AI version in a single 24-hour window. We're not linked to @meowtakeover or TikTok.
Photos that work, and what goes wrong
Use one cat per photo, facing the camera, with the face, ears and chest in view. Good light, no other animals or people in the frame. A sharp phone photo is fine. Screenshots and blurry shots are not.
Side-on photos are the most common problem. The model has to guess the half of the face it can't see, and that guess rarely looks like your cat. Very fluffy cats, like a Persian or a Maine Coon, can also come out with a softer face.
If you add three cats, different coats help. Three black cats in a night scene are hard to tell apart. A ginger, a white and a tabby are easy.
Who plays which kitten, and ideas
Photo 1 replaces the kitten in the middle. Photos 2 and 3 take the other two spots. Any kitten you don't replace stays as it is in the original.
So far we've only tested it with one cat photo. Each role takes a pet photo, but we can't promise how a dog looks in a kitten's spot yet.
Three cats from the same home make the best version. Post it on TikTok or Reels with “the 3 a.m. zoomies”, or send it to the friend who adopted a kitten from the same litter.

PhotoDancing KittensQuestions, answered
Which pet photo works best?
A sharp photo of one cat facing the camera, with the face, ears and chest clear, in good light. Avoid group photos, side profiles, blur and screenshots.
What are the limits?
Long-haired faces can come out softer than in real life, side-on photos lose the face shape, and similar coats are hard to tell apart at night. It's an AI video, not real footage, so label it as AI when you share it.
Can I put all my cats in it?
Yes. Add up to 3 photos. The first one replaces the middle kitten, and the next two replace the kittens on the sides. With one photo, only the middle kitten changes.
Can I put myself in it?
No. All three roles are kittens, so this template only takes pet photos.
Should I pick 6 or 11 seconds?
6 seconds is a quick loop for a story or a reply. 11 seconds is the full clip, so pick it if you want the whole dance.
