The Coffee Cat AI prompt and model
Coffee Cat 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
- 15 seconds, 9:16 or 16:9
- Input
- 1–2 photos
- Replace the dancer The cat that stands up and dances in a 15-second café clip is swapped for your pet, while the table, the cups and the timing stay as they are.
- Identity lock Your photo is the only source for the pet's fur, markings, face and size, and nothing of the original cat is allowed to remain.
- The friend A second optional photo becomes the pet sitting beside the dancer; without it a made-up ordinary cat takes the seat.
- Timeline Four beats over 15 seconds: sip, side glances, the caffeine dance, drop out of sight.
- Rules Fixed table-height camera, no people, plain cups without logos, no text or watermark, no extra animals.
Replace the long-haired black, white and orange cat on the left side of the table in Video 1, the one that stands up and dances, with the pet from Image 1…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Without a motion reference the pet rarely stands up at the right moment, so the dance, the sip and the drop-out never line up.
- Models keep the original cat's black, white and orange coat unless the prompt names it and says nothing of it may remain.
- A pet photo alone does not say what the second animal looks like, so the friend turns into a copy of the first.
- Each try costs model credits and several minutes, and a 15-second clip with two animals, props and a dance rarely comes out right the first time.
Coffee Cat AI examples
How to make your Coffee Cat AI video
Add your pet photo
Photo 1 is the dancer: one clear photo of your cat or dog, ideally sitting up so the whole body shows. Photo 2 is optional, the friend beside it.
Generate
Pick the model tier, resolution and 9:16 or 16:9, then press Generate. The 15-second café clip is rendered for you.
Check the dancer
If the friend has no photo, videosi invents an ordinary cat. Add a second photo if you want a real pair.
Post it
The MP4 has no watermark and the trend sound already on it. Upload it as it is, caption it with the 3 a.m. iced coffee joke, and turn on the AI-generated label.
What is the Coffee Cat 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 Coffee Cat trend is a 15-second AI clip filmed like a café table cam. Two cats sit side by side at a marble table at night, each with a clear iced coffee and a red straw. They sip, stare into the lens and swat at each other. Then one of them jumps up onto its hind legs and dances, arms waving, while the other sinks down behind its cup. At the end the dancer drops out of sight below the table edge.
The look is the same everywhere: a fixed camera at table height, a plain clear cup with a red straw in front of each animal, and a café terrace behind them, either a night scene with trees and a lit ferris wheel or a bright beach terrace with black umbrellas. The joke is the caffeine hit: one sip and one friend loses it. Posts caption it as the friend who is not ready for iced coffee at 3 a.m.
We found the format on TikTok in October 2026. The earliest iced-coffee version we could date is from 19 October 2026, a second one from 23 October, and each uses a different cat pair and a different song. The dancing-cat family itself is older and much larger, with clips in the millions of views from August to October 2026, so Coffee Cat is a small, fresh variation on a big trend. We could not identify who made the first one.
On videosi the dancer is your pet. You upload one photo of your cat or dog, and an optional second photo of the friend sitting beside it, and videosi makes the same 15-second café clip with them in it. The result is an MP4 with the trend sound already on it, ready to post with an AI-generated label.
Coffee Cat AI: shot by shot
- 0–4 s
Two iced coffees
Two pets sit side by side at a marble table at night, each sipping an iced coffee through a red straw, the one on the right staring at the camera.
- 4–8 s
Side glances
Small reactions between them: a swat, a look at the lens, another sip. The calm before the hit.
- 8–13.5 s
The caffeine hit
The pet on the left stands up on its hind legs and dances with its arms waving, while the friend sits low behind its cup.
- 13.5–15 s
Out of sight
The dancer drops below the table edge, leaving the cups and the friend in frame.
Tips for a better result
Show the whole pet
A photo of the whole animal, sitting or standing, gives the model the body and paws it needs to stand up and dance. A face close-up makes it invent the rest.
Eye level, even light
Take the photo at your pet's height in daylight. Strong shadows and dark fur in a dark room lose the markings that make the pet recognisable.
One animal per photo
Use a photo with only the dancer in it, and a separate photo with only the friend. Two pets in one frame can swap or merge.
Cat or dog, either works
The clip is built around cats, but a dog photo is placed in the same seat. Expect it to sit up like a cat does.
Good to know before you make a Coffee Cat AI video
- The place is always the café table at night from the reference clip; your own room is not used, and the beach-terrace versions other creators made are not a choice here.
- Likeness is not guaranteed. Very fluffy coats and rare markings drift the most, especially while the pet is standing up and dancing.
- The pet dances like the cat in the original: arms waving on its hind legs. Dogs get the same moves, which look less natural.
- The trend sound from the original clip is on the MP4, but the music under it is not identified and may be copyrighted. Platforms can mute it. Adding a friend costs nothing extra.
Coffee Cat AI: questions
What is the Coffee Cat AI trend?
The Coffee Cat trend is a 15-second AI clip in which two cats sip iced coffees at a café table and one stands up and dances after the caffeine hits. The earliest copy we could date is from 19 October 2026 on TikTok. videosi makes the same clip with your own pet from one photo.
How do I make the Coffee Cat video with my own pet?
Upload one photo of your cat or dog to videosi, optionally a second photo of its friend, press Generate and wait a few minutes. You get a 15-second MP4 of your pet dancing at the iced-coffee table. No prompt is needed; a standard 720p render costs 13 credits.
Is there a website or generator for the Coffee Cat trend?
Yes, videosi's Coffee Cat AI page is a generator for it: you upload a pet photo and get the 15-second café clip back as an MP4. It is not free, since there is no free generation, but credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and a failed render returns its credits.
Is there a TikTok filter or CapCut template for Coffee Cat?
We did not find a built-in TikTok filter for Coffee Cat as of 1 November 2026. The clips seen so far are made with AI video tools, and some posts point to CapCut templates for the wider two-cats-dancing trend. videosi makes the café version in one step from a photo.
What AI model and prompt make the Coffee Cat video?
videosi uses ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 and 2.5, picked by the tier you choose, with a motion reference clip. The prompt is not public, but it tells the model to replace the dancing cat with your pet and keep the table, cups and 15-second timing. You never have to write it.
How much does the Coffee Cat AI video cost?
A 15-second Coffee Cat video on the Standard model at 720p costs 13 credits on videosi; better models and higher resolutions cost more. Credit packs start at $6.99 for 10 credits and never expire, plans start at $29.90 a month, and a failed render returns its credits.
Why did my Coffee Cat video come out wrong?
The most common reason is a face close-up as the photo, because the model then has to invent the body that stands up and dances. Use a photo of the whole pet in even light for videosi. Fluffy coats and rare markings drift most, and one photo can only describe one animal.
Can I use my dog or someone else's pet in the Coffee Cat video?
Yes, you can use a photo of any pet, including a dog, a friend's cat or your own, and videosi puts it in the dancer's seat. The clip is built around cats, so a dog will sit up and dance like one. Use only pets you have the right to show.
What does Coffee Cat mean?
Coffee Cat is the name people give to clips of cats with iced coffee, here the 15-second version where one cat dances after a sip. As of November 2026 the name is informal and not tied to one account. videosi's Coffee Cat AI page makes it from one photo of your pet.
What song is used in the Coffee Cat trend?
There is no single confirmed song: the two TikTok copies we checked use different tracks, and the original clip's music is not identified. The video you make on videosi comes with the audio of the reference version already on it, and platforms can mute it, so you can swap in a sound from their library.
Is the Coffee Cat trend still trending?
As of 1 November 2026 Coffee Cat is emerging: the earliest iced-coffee copy we could date is from 19 October 2026 and most copies have only hundreds of views. The wider dancing-cat trend it belongs to is far bigger, with clips in the millions since August 2026, so videosi's page treats Coffee Cat as early.
Do I have to add a second pet?
No, a second photo is optional and costs nothing extra. Without it, videosi puts an ordinary made-up cat beside your pet. With it, the friend sitting at the table is the pet in your second photo, and you can also upload a single photo of both pets together.
