How to make a cat jam video with your own cat

Upload one clear photo of your cat to Black Cat Clapping, pay once as a guest, and get a vertical video of 5 or 10 seconds of your cat bobbing its head to a steady beat, like the catJAM meme. You do not need to film or touch your cat.

What you get

A new AI video of your own cat: the head bobs up and down in a steady tempo, the body stays mostly still, and the background is the one from your photo. Vertical, HD and without a watermark.

About the sound

The video comes with a simple instrumental beat made for the clip. It is not "I Wanna Dance", "Ievan Polkka" or any other song, and you cannot upload your own music to Black Cat Clapping. If you want a particular song, swap the sound in TikTok, Instagram or your video editor.

Why not just film your cat?

In the original clip the owner's friend moved the cat's head by hand. With a photo, nobody has to hold or move your cat.

Tips for a better result

Use a sharp photo where the whole head is visible, avoid photos where the cat is curled up, far away or partly hidden, and use one cat per photo.

Step by step

  1. Pick a good photo. One cat, head and face clearly visible, good light, sitting or lying upright. JPEG, PNG or WebP still photos. Videos cannot be uploaded.
  2. Upload it on the Cat Jam page and choose a pack. Choose a short clip or a full-length video. Packs from $9.90; you pay as a guest.
  3. Get your jamming cat. Your video appears on a private result page after payment, and we email you the link.

Questions and answers

How long is the video?

5 or 10 seconds, depending on the pack you choose.

Can I add my own song?

Not on Black Cat Clapping: the video comes with its own instrumental beat. You can replace the sound in any video app before you post.

Can I make a GIF?

We deliver a video file. Any GIF converter can turn it into a GIF.

Is it safe for my cat?

Yes. You only upload a photo; nobody handles your cat.

Does it work with a black cat?

Yes. Use a bright, even photo so the head and face are clearly visible.

What if the video fails?

We try again automatically. If a generation fails or the AI provider declines it, its credits go back to your balance automatically.
