AI Trend Club makes the Kung Fu Cat AI trend from one photo: a 9-second vertical video, from $6.99, with a free preview first and no sign-up.

If you have seen the orange cat sitting upright on a lap, throwing martial arts blocks and chopping two paper tissues in half, this is the format people are remaking with their own pets. Below is the short, practical version of how to make it.

What the Kung Fu Cat video looks like

The original clip runs about 9 seconds. Shot by shot:

  1. The cat sits upright on its owner's lap and raises its paws to block incoming strikes.
  2. It delivers quick martial arts strikes into the air as the music builds.
  3. The cat slices through the first paper tissue with a sharp chop.
  4. It finishes the routine by splitting a second paper tissue in half.

When you make your own version, your photo replaces the lead. The movements and the sound stay the same, so your pet (or you) follows the same shots. No two runs come out exactly the same.

The original was posted by TikTok creator @lynn59716 on October 19, 2026.

What you need

  • One photo: your cat, your dog, or a selfie if you want to play the lead yourself.
  • A browser. There is no editing app and no prompt to write.

The output is a 9-second vertical MP4 in 9:16, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with the original sound included.

Step by step

Step 1: Add your photo

Open the Kung Fu Cat trend page and add one photo. For a kung fu pet, use a clear, front-facing pet picture.

Step 2: Check the free preview

Before spending anything, you get a free preview first, with no sign-up. This is the moment to decide whether your photo works. If the face looks off, swap the photo now rather than after rendering.

Step 3: Press Make my video

The button shows the price before anything is spent: 415 credits at standard quality (480p). HD (720p) is 934 credits. Making the video needs an account and credits.

Step 4: Download and post

You get a vertical 9:16 MP4, with the trend's sound or silent. You can find it later in My videos. It is usually ready in a few minutes.

What it costs

  • Standard, 480p, 9 seconds: 415 credits.
  • The $6.99 Week pass includes 800 credits, which covers one standard video.
  • A video that fails gives its credits back automatically.

Picking a photo that works

The page gives a short checklist, and it is worth following:

  • Pick a sharp, close picture of your pet looking toward the camera.
  • Make sure there is bright, even light across the whole face.
  • Keep the head and ears fully visible in the frame.

Avoid:

  • Blurry, distant or dark snapshots.
  • Pictures where hands cover the snout.
  • Side angles or tilted heads.

Troubleshooting

If... Do this
The pet face looks misaligned Upload a picture taken straight from the front, with the pet looking directly forward.
Details look blurry or washed out Switch to a well-lit photo that clearly shows your pet's eyes and facial markings.
The render failed Credits come back automatically. Try again with a clearer photo.

Quick FAQ

Can I use a selfie instead of a pet? Yes. You can add a clear photo of your cat or dog, or a selfie of yourself to play the lead.

Do I need to write a prompt? No. Add one photo and tap Make my video.

Where does the trend come from? It grew out of a July 2026 pet martial arts format with dogs chopping toilet paper, then moved to cats with the October 19, 2026 post by @lynn59716.

That is the whole workflow: one photo, a free preview, one button, and a 9-second vertical clip ready to post.
