Wizard Cat Dance With a Dog or Any Pet

The reference dancer is a cat, but the template is not limited to cats. It keeps whatever species your photo shows and gives it the wizard hat and the dance. This page covers what to expect when the dancer is a dog, another pet or a person, and how to choose the photo for each.

Wizard Cat Dance beyond cats

01

A dog in the wizard hat

A dog keeps its own muzzle, ears, coat and tail and dances upright on its hind legs with the front paws at the chest, like the cat. Long-legged dogs look taller and leaner than the round reference cat; that is expected, because the template keeps your dog's real body shape.

02

Small pets

Rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals keep their species too. Their bodies are very different from a cat standing up, so the dance moves are interpreted more loosely. We have not reviewed results for these yet, so check the video before sharing.

03

A person in the role

A person takes the dancer's place and dances with hands and feet: the paw wave becomes a hand wave, the chest-high paws become fists at the chest. The wizard hat and bell collar are added over your own clothes.

04

Choosing the photo for a non-cat

Show the whole animal, standing or sitting, with the head, ears and tail in frame. For dogs with floppy ears, a photo with the ears clearly visible helps the hat sit right. For people, a full-body photo shows the legs that do the kicks.

05

What never changes

Whatever the species, the promenade, the night skyline, the hat, the collar, the camera and the song stay the same, and so does the timing of every move.

06

One dancer only

The template has one role. A photo with two pets, or a pet on someone's lap, gives the AI two candidates; crop the photo to the one dancer first.

  1. 01

    Add your pet's photo

    Upload one clear photo of your pet, or of yourself or someone who agreed to appear. A full-body photo with the face, ears, legs and tail visible works best.

  2. 02

    Review quality and price

    Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video, your photo preparation and three scene preparations.

  3. 03

    Check the dance

    Watch that the face, coat and markings stay your pet's through the spin and the kicks and that the hat stays on, then download your portrait MP4 with the original song.

01

Your pet is the wizard

One photo casts the dancer. A cat stays a cat and a dog stays a dog, with its own face, coat, markings and tail, dancing upright on its hind legs. A person can take the role too and dances with hands and feet.

02

The hat comes with it

The charcoal felt wizard hat with tiny silver stars and the small bell collar are the look of the trend, so every dancer wears them, whatever the photo shows.

03

The whole dance, on the beat

All 17 seconds from a fixed camera: the paw wave, the chest-high paw groove, the quick spin, the side kicks and the last bounce, timed to the original song.

04

An AI source reference

The preview is the AI reel the trend comes from. It is the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result.

Questions & answers

What is the Wizard Cat Dance AI trend?

It is a 17-second portrait AI clip of a chubby ginger cat in a tall charcoal wizard hat, standing on its hind legs on a riverside promenade at night and dancing to "She Bugging (Whatchu Gonna Do)": paw waves, a bouncy groove with the paws at the chest, a spin and a couple of side kicks, with the lit skyline reflected in the river behind. Oakgen's template puts your pet, or you, in the cat's place and keeps the hat, the setting, the moves and the song.

Why is it called the wizard cat?

"Wizard cat" is the name the internet already uses for AI images of a chunky orange cat in a pointed wizard hat; the meme spread in 2024. This dance clip uses the same look, so we call the template Wizard Cat Dance.

What is the song?

"She Bugging (Whatchu Gonna Do)" by Mr Flintstone and Khantrast, identified from the audio. Your video keeps that original soundtrack. Nobody in the video sings or lip-syncs; the dancer only dances.

Does it work with a dog or another pet?

Yes. The template keeps the uploaded animal's species, coat and markings and has it dance upright on its hind legs in the wizard hat. Bodies very different from a round, chubby cat vary more, so review the video before sharing.

Can I use a photo of myself?

Yes. A person takes the dancer's place and dances with hands and feet in the wizard hat. Use your own photo or one of someone who agreed to appear.

Does my pet have to wear the hat?

The hat and the bell collar are the trend's look, so they are added to every dancer. Your photo sets everything else: species, face, coat, markings and size.

Whose photo can I use?

Your own pet, yourself, or a person who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone who has not consented, and label AI videos clearly when you share them.

How long is the video?

17 seconds in portrait 9:16, one fixed shot from the first paw wave to the last bounce.

Is the preview generated by Oakgen?

No. It is the source AI reel used as the reference, not an Oakgen result. Review your pet's face, paws and the hat before sharing.

How much does it cost?

3,485 credits per 720p video. The quote includes your photo preparation, three scene references and the complete video. Check it before generating.
