How do I make the La Calabaza dance with my cat?
Upload one clear photo of your cat (or dog), choose “My pet ×3,” and click “Make my La Calabaza video.” About 5 minutes later you have a 10-second vertical video where all three dancers are your pet, with the same fur and markings — no CapCut template, no prompts.
- One photo — whole body in view, standing or sitting, facing the camera, good light, at least 512×512 px. One pet per photo.
- Choose a mode and quality — My pet ×3 (default), Me with the kittens (upload a photo of yourself instead), or Pumpkin crew. Standard 720p or HD 1080p, 9:16 for TikTok / Reels / Shorts.
- Generate — the three copies of your pet stand up on their back legs, dance in sync, then spin. Download the MP4 and add the La Calabaza sound on TikTok.
What does the video look like?
Beat 1 (0–3 s): three copies of your pet rise up onto their back legs on a night street and face the camera. Beat 2 (3–8 s): they step left, step right and swing their front paws in perfect sync — the left one in round glasses, the middle one in a cowboy hat, the right one bare-headed. Beat 3 (8–10 s): all three spin once and land in the starting pose. Warm street-lamp light, a touch of VHS grain.
La Calabaza AI vs a CapCut template
Templates can only reuse the original three cats. The AI version makes the dancers your cat or dog from a single still photo — that is the whole point of the trend.
