How do I make the Smalltown Boy AI video with my two cats?
Upload one head-on photo of each cat, choose Pets mode, and generate. Both cats keep their faces and markings and do the scream, the head-clutch and the 80s dance side by side. It's the most popular version of the trend and the one that fails least — cats stare at cameras.
Cat photos that work
- Face toward the camera, both ears visible
- Eyes open, no motion blur
- Shot from the cat's eye level or slightly above
- Plain-ish background so the markings are clear
One cat and one human
Choose One of each. The human screams first; the cat follows. It's the second most-shared variation after two cats.
Dogs, rabbits, other pets
Pets mode is not cat-specific. Dogs work well when the photo is front-on; long-snouted breeds look funnier mid-scream. Small pets need a tight crop so the face fills the frame.
