How it is made
The Bottle Kick Challenge AI prompt and model
Bottle Kick Challenge AI is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
- Mode
- Photo + motion reference to video
- Length
- 9 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1 photo
- Identity lock Your photo is the only source for the pet's species, breed, face, fur and markings, held identical in every frame.
- Motion reference The original 9-second clip supplies the stance, the spinning kick, the landing and the camera height, and nothing else.
- Scene One of three setups, a washroom sink, a living room table or two stacked bottles on a box, each with its own outcome.
- Timeline Five beats: stare-down, wind-up, spinning kick, miss or hit with a yowl, then the backward hop.
- Rules One animal, one rigid bottle setup, four legs, no human hands, no text or logos, no cuts.
Photorealistic live-action phone footage, 9 seconds, one continuous static shot at about chest height of the animal, the whole body visible from the ears to the hind paws…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Without an identity lock the model turns your pet into the black cat from the original clip.
- A text-only prompt rarely gets a pet to stand up and spin a kick; it waves a paw at the bottle instead.
- Bottles melt, multiply or move before the kick lands unless the rules pin them down.
- Each try costs model credits and several minutes, and extra legs or tails appear in the fastest frames.

What is the Bottle Kick Challenge AI trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
The bottle kick challenge AI trend is a 9-second clip of a pet doing something no pet can do. A black cat stands up on its hind legs in a bare washroom, sizes up a water bottle on the sink counter, spins and throws a high kick at it like a martial artist, misses, and hops backward yowling with its mouth wide open. The bottle never moves. The joke is the confidence before the kick and the scream after it.
It borrows its name from the Bottle Cap Challenge of summer 2019, when people filmed themselves spinning a kick to unscrew the cap of a bottle without knocking it over. The 2026 version is not filmed at all: the animals are AI-generated. The earliest AI clip we found on TikTok, the black cat in the washroom, is dated 4 October 2026. Through mid-October remakes followed with Siamese and ginger cats, white terriers and pugs, plus a second setup with two bottles of juice stacked on a wooden box, where the kick finally knocks the top bottle off. Template tutorials for a pet bottle kick appeared on 10 October.
As of late October 2026 the trend is at an early stage: our trend radar first flagged it on 23 October, and most posts have thousands of views rather than millions. No single sound is attached; posts use their own original sounds.
This page makes the AI version for you. Upload one photo of your cat or dog, pick the washroom sink, the living room table or the stacked bottles, and videosi renders the stance, the spinning kick and the scream with your pet's own face, fur and markings.
Bottle Kick Challenge AI: shot by shot
- 0–1.5 s
The stare-down
Your pet stands upright one step from the bottle, front paws up in a fighter's guard, eyes wide.
- 1.5–3 s
The wind-up
It sways, flings its front legs out for balance and draws one hind leg up.
- 3–4.5 s
The spinning kick
A full-stretch crescent kick at bottle height, front legs thrown wide.
- 4.5–6 s
Miss or hit
The kick sails past the bottle, or on the stacked setup clips the top bottle off, and the mouth flies open in a yowl.
- 6–9 s
The retreat
Still screaming, your pet hops backward on its hind legs and stares at the camera until the end.
Tips for a better result
Show the whole body
The kick is all legs. A photo where your pet stands or sits up, with the back legs visible, gives the model real legs to work with.
One pet per photo
If two animals share the picture the model may merge them. Crop to the one you want doing the kick.
Sharp face, even light
Daylight from a window works best. Stripes, a white chest or odd-coloured eyes are what make the kicker recognisably yours.
Pick a setup that fits the fur
A black or dark pet reads best in the pale washroom; a white pet stands out against the warm living room or the grey wall behind the stacked bottles.
Good to know before you make a Bottle Kick Challenge AI video
- Likeness is not guaranteed: long-haired cats and dogs with long snouts drift the most during the spin.
- Your pet always stands up and kicks like a person. It is a meme, not how your pet really moves.
- The miss or hit follows the setup you pick, but the exact moment of contact can vary between renders.
- The video is silent and made for pets, not people. A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.

Is the bottle kick challenge the same as the 2019 bottle cap challenge?
No. The Bottle Cap Challenge of summer 2019 was filmed by real people who spun a kick to unscrew a bottle cap. The 2026 bottle kick challenge AI trend is AI-generated: pets stand up and kick at the bottle, usually missing. videosi makes the 9-second pet version; it does not recreate the 2019 human stunt.
How do I make the bottle kick challenge video with my cat or dog?

Is there a bottle kick challenge AI generator or website?
Yes. videosi (videosi.io) is a web tool that makes the bottle kick challenge AI video from one photo of your pet. The motion, the three setups and the prompt are built in, so you only choose the photo, the setup and the format. A standard 9-second video (Standard model, 720p) is 8 credits, and the MP4 has no watermark.
Is there a CapCut template or TikTok filter for the bottle kick challenge?
Template accounts on TikTok began posting pet bottle kick tutorials around 10 October 2026, and app templates change often, so check inside those apps. videosi is independent and not affiliated with TikTok or CapCut. The videosi bottle kick challenge is a web tool: upload a photo, download a silent 9-second MP4, then add a sound where you post.
What AI model and prompt make the bottle kick challenge video?
The videosi bottle kick challenge AI video is made with ByteDance's Seedance model (Seedance 2.0 Mini by default; Fast, Pro and Seedance 2.5 Ultra are one click away) from a five-part prompt plus a 9-second motion reference clip. By hand it often takes several tries, because the model swaps your pet for the black cat or makes it wave at the bottle instead of kicking.
