What is the DJ Cat video?
A cat in a dark arena, paws on a pair of decks. Cut to the crowd behind it, thousands of phone lights. Cut to its face, mouth open, loving every second. Then the view from the floor: one tiny animal under a spotlight, hands in the air all around it. It's the look of a stadium DJ's highlight reel, and that's the joke.
This template makes it with your pet. The video follows a depth map of an AI pet version of the clip, so every cut and move lands where it does in the original; the breed, face, ears and fur come from your photo. Cats and dogs each follow their own clip, so a cat moves like a cat, and the dog gets a pinstriped shirt and headphones. Premium renders the whole ~30 seconds; Balanced renders 15 seconds, starting on the close-up. It plays and downloads with the sound, or you can turn the song off and pick your own.
Cat or dog
Same arena, same cuts. Pick the one that matches your pet.
Cat
Your cat as it is, no outfit, working the decks and waving at the crowd.
Dog
Your dog in a pinstriped shirt with headphones round its neck. Also for rabbits and other pets.
What the template recreates
About 30 seconds across seven shots. Balanced renders 5.75–20.75 s, from the close-up to the view from the crowd.
- 0–5.6 s
At the decks
A side close-up on the turntables, then over your pet's shoulder to the packed arena.
- 5.6–10.1 s
The close-up
Face to the camera, paws on the decks, mouth wide open with joy. The shot people replay.
- 10.1–13.8 s
Back to work
From behind, your pet turns to the decks with the crowd in front of it.
- 13.8–22.6 s
From the crowd
One small animal under a spotlight, raised hands in silhouette in front of the stage.
- 22.6–30 s
The whole arena
Your pet's back to the camera, dancing and waving while lights and confetti fill the arena.
Where the video came from
It started with a real DJ's arena highlight reel, posted on Instagram in July 2026 and viewed more than 65 million times. Its cuts are so recognisable that AI creators began remaking them shot for shot with animals in the DJ's place, using video tools that swap the subject and keep the motion.
By autumn 2026 cat and dog versions were spreading across Instagram and TikTok alongside tags like #djcat and #catdj. Pet DJ clips work because the footage takes itself completely seriously: same lights, same crowd, same swagger, and the headliner is a cat.

Premium renders the whole ~30-second clip: 55 credits at 480p, 120 at 720p and 205 at 1080p. Balanced renders 15 seconds, from 15 credits. Photos are reviewed first and failed renders are refunded automatically.

Pet photos that work best
Face clearly visible
Eyes, nose and ears sharp and toward the camera: the close-up fills the frame, so the face has to hold up.
Good light
Daylight or a bright room. The arena is dark, so a dim photo makes dark fur disappear into it.
Show the whole pet if you can
Your pet stands on its back legs, so a full-body photo gets its fur, markings and shape right. A clear head shot still works.
Add your own caption
The video comes without text. Your pet's DJ name is a good start.
Got a dog? Pick the dog version
It follows a dog's body and comes with the shirt and headphones. Rabbits and other pets use it too.
One animal per photo
Two pets in one photo, or a person holding the pet, make it unclear who should headline.
