How to Make the I Wanna Love You Cat Video From One Photo

A step-by-step guide to the I Wanna Love You AI video generator: upload one photo of your cat or dog, pick the model, length and quality, then download a 9:16 MP4 with the song. Prices and credits included.

How to Make the I Wanna Love You Cat Video From One Photo

A cat in a plaid suit and a polka-dot bow tie sings "I Wanna Love You", throws a paw in the air and falls over backwards. Here's how to make the same video with your own pet from a single photo, no filming and no prompt.

What you're making

The pet template on our homepage follows the full routine posted by the AI pet account @novoreel on 4 October 2026: an orange cat in a plaid suit and a polka-dot bow tie singing Akon and Snoop Dogg's "I Wanna Love You". Your pet takes the cat's place. New to the meme? Read what the I Wanna Love You trend is.

The pet template is for pets only: a cat, a dog or another pet. For a video of yourself, use the person version, which follows the original clip's moves.

How to make the I Wanna Love You cat video in 3 steps

  1. Upload one photo of your pet. One animal, whole body visible, face sharp, in bright, even light. Our photo guide has the details.
  2. Pick the model, length and quality. Choose Budget, Balanced or Premium, 10 seconds or the whole 14-second take, and 480p or 720p. Premium also offers 1080p.
  3. Generate and download. Your photo passes a quick safety review, then the video renders in a few minutes. Download a vertical 9:16 MP4 with the song and no watermark, or share it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

Without an account, or with credits

The video isn't free, but there's no subscription. Two ways to pay:

  • One video, no account. Pay once at checkout with Stripe and we email you the link when the video is ready: $4.99 (Balanced, 480p, 14 s), $6.99 (Balanced, 720p, 14 s) or $8.99 (Premium, 480p, 14 s).
  • One-time credit packs. 20 credits for $9.90, 50 for $22.99, 90 for $39.99, 135 for $56.99, 240 for $99.99 or 450 for $184.99. Credits never expire.

If the photo is rejected or the render fails, your payment or credits come back automatically. See pricing for the details.

Posting your video

The song is already in the MP4. On the finished-video page you can also download it silent, then add the TikTok sound yourself when you post. Label it as AI-generated if the platform asks.

Your photos and videos stay private: we never publish them or use them in marketing.

Want to do it yourself instead?

The person version puts you in the original clip: the night selfie, the hand in the air and the fall onto the grass with legs up the wall. It works the same way, with one photo of yourself.

One more trend for your pet

Our sister site Bad Times AI makes the viral BAD TIMES dance from the same kind of photo, with a pet version for cats and dogs. Finish an I Wanna Love You video and the link on its page brings your photo along.
