How to Make a Closed on Sunday AI Video with Your Cat or Dog
Two pet modes explained: your pet as the central star vs you standing in a pet choir — with photo tips and matching examples.
Last updated: 2026-10-22
Short answer: there are two pet modes. "Pet in the choir" makes your cat or dog the central star; "Cat choir" keeps you (or a person) center-stage with a choir of cats around them. Same flow as the person tutorial — the template choice is the only difference.
Mode 1 — Your pet is the star
Choose the Pet in the choir template. Your pet's photo replaces the central subject: the choir, framing and camera movement from the reference happen around your cat or dog, standing (or sitting) perfectly still in the middle of it all.
Best input photo: full body, pet facing the camera, eyes visible, on the ground or a simple surface. Details and pitfalls: photo requirements.
Mode 2 — You in a cat choir
Choose the Cat choir template. Now a person's photo is the input — you stand in the center while a choir of cats carries the gospel choreography around you. Pick the same kind of portrait you'd use for the classic trend.
Same credits, same output: 14 seconds, 16:9, MP4 with the reference soundtrack, 1 credit for 480P or 2 for HD.
Step-by-step (both modes)
- Open the generator and sign in.
- Upload the photo — the pet (Mode 1) or yourself (Mode 2).
- Pick Pet in the choir or Cat choir; watch the sample to preview the motion.
- Choose 480P (1 credit) or 720P (2 credits). First time? Buy credits from the pricing section ($6.90 for 1).
- Confirm consent and generate — 2–5 minutes later your video is in My videos, ready to download.
Pet photo tips that actually matter
- Eyes visible — the model anchors identity on the face, same as with people
- One pet per photo — two cats become one unpredictable cat
- No hands holding the pet — whatever holds the pet appears in the video
- Calm lighting — a bright room or daylight; avoid flash glare in fur
What to expect
AI results vary: fur colors and markings generally carry over well; breed-typical body proportions can drift. A pet example generated by this site is being added to the examples page with the usual input→output labelling.
