The trend started on 29 September 2026, when the TikTok account @primeclippss_ posted a front-camera clip of a deadpan character in a blond bowl-cut wig, a curled moustache and a pink suit, in the style of the AI character Jean Phil. He sings "I Wanna Love You" into a night selfie by a row of tennis courts, raises a hand, then falls back onto the grass with his legs up a wall. The clip had 21.1 million views by 14 October, and its sound was in 7,575 videos. Two days later the AI pet account @novoreel turned it into a cat. On 1 October a white cat in a suit sang the first ten seconds and reached 21.3 million views and 1.6 million shares. On 4 October @novoreel posted the full routine with an orange cat in a plaid suit and a polka-dot bow tie, the reel on this page (1.3 million views). Other AI pet accounts followed with cat clips of about 5 million views on 8 and 10 October, and CapCut template tutorials appeared from 5 October. By 14 October, #iwannaloveyoutrend had 1,661 TikTok videos. ### I Wanna Love You Cat trend timeline - **2026-09-29**: @primeclippss_ posts the night selfie routine at the tennis courts; it has 21.1 million views and 2.6 million likes by 14 October.

Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library. ### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video prompt animates your own photo directly. To change it, copy it and edit it in AI Video. Settings: 1 photo (your pet) · Seedance 2.5 · 13 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 198 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 13 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same front-camera selfie at night by the lit tennis courts behind the chain-link fence, the same concrete path, the grass and the low concrete wall, the same night light, the same camera moves, framing, timing and moves, one continuous take with no cuts. The ONLY change: the orange tabby cat in the plaid suit who films itself and sings is now the pet in [Image 1]. SELFIE MODE, ONE CONTINUOUS SHOT - the most important rule: the PET FILMS ITSELF for all 13 seconds, and the whole video is its own selfie view, exactly like [Video 1] - one unbroken take, no cuts, filmed as one single full frame. We ARE the selfie camera: nothing that holds it is ever seen - only the pet's own front leg reaching toward the lens from the bottom-left corner of the frame (the viewer's left), exactly like the leg in [Video 1] - the SAME front leg on the SAME left side of the frame for all 13 seconds, never switching sides. Its other front leg is empty, and it is the one that rises high in the air. The camera moves ONLY because the pet moves its outstretched front leg, exactly as in [Video 1]: in front of its face while it sings, then rising higher over its head while it bends backward, further and further, until it lies on its back on the grass and the camera looks straight down at its face. The whole vertical 9:16 frame stays filled. DIVISION OF SOURCES - follow this strictly: - From [Image 1] take ONLY the pet: the same species and breed, head shape, muzzle, eyes, ears, fur colors, fur length, markings and body shape as in [Image 1], with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything, so its owner instantly recognizes it, also in the close-ups and when it lies back. Only the head, the face, the ears, the fur and the paws change: the pet keeps the costume of the original cat in every frame, the dark green and purple plaid suit jacket, the white patterned shirt and the navy bow tie with white polka dots, from the first second to the last. The front leg that holds the selfie camera and the hind legs that rise up the wall have the pet's own fur from [Image 1]. Never drift back to the cat of the original video: NO orange fur and NO ginger tabby stripes unless [Image 1] shows them. If [Image 1] shows a dog or another animal, that animal films itself in the same place with the same moves, with its own muzzle, ears, teeth and tongue. - From [Video 1] take the PLACE, the costume, the PERFORMANCE - the moves, every facial expression, every move of the camera, the singing mouth - and the TIMING, exactly, beat by beat as written below. The pet performs [Video 1]'s moves with its own face and body; the cat in [Video 1] never appears. BEAT BY BEAT - copy [Video 1]'s moves, timing and facial expressions exactly. The camera is ALWAYS in the pet's outstretched front leg (the left side of the frame); the other front leg stays empty. The eyes and the mouth copy the cat in [Video 1] frame by frame: the same half-closed, soulful squint, and the mouth open wide on the long notes and closed when the cat's mouth is closed: [00:00-00:01.5] the camera comes up out of the dark to its face, chin up, cool and smooth; sings. [00:01.5-00:05.0] close to the lens with the lit tennis courts behind, head swaying, eyebrows lifting; sings, the camera tilting down a little to the path and the grass. [00:05.0-00:07.0] the other front paw starts to rise; sings with feeling. [00:07.0-00:09.5] the other front paw high in the air, head tilted, eyes squeezed, the mouth wide open on the long notes; the camera rises and looks down at it. [00:09.5-00:10.5] leans back against the low concrete wall, the raised paw comes down to its chest. [00:10.5-00:13.0] lies back on the grass at the foot of the wall, the camera straight above looking down at its face, the head tipped back, the hind legs rising up the wall behind; belts straight up into the lens with the mouth stretched wide open. ACTION: one continuous 13-second vertical 9:16 front-camera selfie video with no cuts, filmed from the pet's own outstretched front leg the whole time. Every frame shows the pet from [Image 1]. Real live-action footage, one continuous take, clear facial features, a stable face, no distortion, no deformation, real animal anatomy, the same pet in every frame, the same costume, the same fur. Anatomy rules: one head only. Two hind legs and two front legs, furry paws covered in the pet's own fur, no extra legs or paws, never human hands. Exactly one animal. Avoid: a white studio background, the selfie front leg switching to the right side, a phone in the frame, the back of a phone, a camera watching the pet from outside or from the side, a mouth out of sync with [Video 1], the orange tabby cat from [Video 1] appearing, a bowl-cut wig, a curly moustache, tinted round glasses, a green turtleneck, a gold chain, a camera that floats on its own, a second person filming, a different face, a heavier or thinner body than in the photo, human hands, fingers, bare skin, cuts, jump cuts, panels, black bars, borders, captions, subtitles, text, logos, watermarks, people, extra animals, extra limbs, morphing, facial distortion. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/i-wanna-love-you-ai-pet/create?variant=pet ### Which photo works best? You need **one photo of your pet**: a cat, a dog or any other animal. - A sharp photo with the face clear and turned to the camera. The face fills most of the clip, so the eyes, the nose and the markings matter most. - The whole animal in view helps: the paw that holds the camera, the paw in the air and the legs that go up the wall all take their fur from your photo. - Good light, no filter, and nothing that hides the face or the fur. Your pet gets the plaid suit and the bow tie from the reel, so it does not need a costume. - One animal in the photo. Use a photo of your own pet. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 13 s, 720p, copies the trend clip, one tap | 198 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in the I Wanna Love You cat video, beat by beat? Your pet films itself the whole time: one continuous selfie shot, with its own front leg holding the camera at the edge of the frame. | Time | What your pet does | |---|---| | 0-1.5 s | The camera comes up out of the dark to its face, chin up, already singing. | | 1.5-5 s | Close to the lens, the lit tennis courts behind, head swaying and eyes half closed as it sings. | | 5-9.5 s | The other paw goes up, higher and higher, the mouth wide open on the long notes. | | 9.5-10.5 s | It leans back against a low wall. | | 10.5-13 s | It lies back on the grass, the camera straight above, the legs up the wall, and belts it out. | Seedance 2.5 puts your pet into the viral AI cat reel itself: the same night selfie, the same plaid suit and polka-dot bow tie, the same camera moves, vertical 9:16 at 720p, 13 seconds. It can take up to several minutes. The trend's song goes back on after the run. Press "Create your own"; the exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. Every run is a new take, so results differ. ## Cat or dog: who should sing the I Wanna Love You selfie? The joke is a pet that takes itself very seriously as a singer, so the calmer your pet looks in real life, the funnier it gets. These fit: - **Your cat.** The viral versions are cats, so a cat looks closest to the reel. Orange, black, white or tabby all work: the fur comes from your photo. - **Your dog.** A dog in a plaid suit, belting on its back with its legs up the wall, is the twist people do not expect. - **A rabbit, a hamster or any other pet.** Any animal can take the part; it films itself with its own paw. **Caption ideas:** "My cat after 10 pm", "He thinks he is on tour", "Night shift serenade", "Me at karaoke after one song". Or write your own. Want more? Your pet can also do the [Toc Toc dance](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/toc-toc-dance-ai-trend), the other big Jean Phil trend, or argue with the camera in the [Bad Times trend](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/bad-times-ai-trend). ## Which sound and hashtags should you post it with? Your clip comes with the trend's sound, the same seconds of "I Wanna Love You" that the AI cat reel is cut to, so it is ready to post. You can turn the song off on the result screen and add a sound when you post instead. The song belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it. Music rules differ from platform to platform, so check them before you use the clip in an ad or a paid post. **Hashtags:** #iwannaloveyoutrend is the trend's own tag, with 1,661 TikTok videos and 3.2 million views on 14 October 2026. Many cat posts add #singingcat (33,794 videos) and #iwannaloveyou. Keep the platform's AI label on. ## What goes wrong, and how do you fix it? | Problem | Fix | |---|---| | Orange fur or tabby stripes show up | The cat in the reel is an orange tabby. Use a sharp photo where the fur and the markings are clear, then run it again. | | The suit or the bow tie changes or goes missing | The prompt keeps the reel's plaid suit and bow tie on your pet. Run it again. | | The paw that holds the camera looks like a hand | The prompt asks for real furry paws. Run it again, ideally with a photo where the paws are in view. | | The face looks less like your pet when it lies back | The head tips far back in that part, which is the hardest angle. Use a sharp, front-facing photo, then run it again. | | The mouth moves, but not to the words | It copies the mouth of the cat in the reel, not the lyrics, so there is no exact lip sync. | | The model refuses the photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. | ## I Wanna Love You Cat trend questions ### What is the I Wanna Love You cat trend? It is a viral TikTok trend from October 2026: an AI-made cat in a suit films a night selfie by the tennis courts, sings "I Wanna Love You" into the camera, throws a paw in the air and falls back onto the grass with its legs up the wall. It copies a human selfie clip from 29 September, and the first cat version had 21.3 million views by 14 October 2026. ### Who started the I Wanna Love You trend? The selfie routine went viral with a clip posted by @primeclippss_ on 29 September 2026, which had 21.1 million views by 14 October. The cat versions started with the AI pet account @novoreel on 1 October; its full routine with the orange cat, the reel on this page, followed on 4 October. ### What song is used in the I Wanna Love You trend? Akon's 2006 song "I Wanna Love You", with Snoop Dogg. A MakeViral clip comes with the same seconds of the song that the AI cat reel uses, and you can turn it off on the result screen. The song belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it. ### Why do people call it the Akon cat or the Akon selfie? Because the cat sings Akon's song into its own selfie camera, and many captions call the clip "the Akon selfie". MakeViral has no ties to the artist. ### Is this the Jean Phil I Wanna Love You trend? It is the same routine. The first viral clip shows a character in the style of Jean Phil, the AI character of the Toc Toc dance, so many tutorials call it the Jean Phil trend. This template is the pet version: your pet sings it in the AI cat's plaid suit, and it gets no wig or moustache. ### How do I make the I Wanna Love You cat video with my pet? Press "Create your own" and add one clear photo of your pet. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get a 13-second vertical clip with the song. You write no prompt, and the video waits in your Library when it is ready. ### Can my dog do the I Wanna Love You trend? Yes. Any animal can take the cat's place: your dog films the night selfie with its own paw, wears the plaid suit and the bow tie, and falls back onto the grass with its legs up the wall. Use a sharp photo with the face clear and the whole dog in view. ### Will my pet wear the suit, and where is the background from? Yes. Your pet keeps the reel's plaid suit, white shirt and polka-dot bow tie, and only the face, the ears, the fur and the paws come from your photo. The place comes from the reel too: the lit tennis courts at night, the path, the grass and the low wall. ### Will it lip sync to the song? Not exactly. Your pet copies the mouth of the cat in the reel, so it opens wide on the long notes and closes in between, and the song goes back on after the run. It reads as singing, but the mouth does not follow every word. ### Can I do it with my own face? Not on this page: it copies the AI cat reel, so it is made for pets. For a viral routine with your own face, try the [Toc Toc dance](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/toc-toc-dance-ai-trend) or the [Bad Times trend](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/bad-times-ai-trend). ### Which AI model makes the video, and what prompt does it use? Seedance 2.5 makes it: it puts your pet into the AI cat reel itself, vertical at 720p, and can take up to several minutes. No creator of the trend shared a prompt in public, and the CapCut templates are closed. The prompt here uses the words of the only published prompt for this selfie routine, changed to put your pet into the reel and keep its own face and fur. You write no prompt yourself. ### How long is the video and what format is it? 13 seconds, vertical 9:16 at 720p, as an MP4 file with the song and no watermark. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [Toc Toc Dance AI: Do the Viral Jean Phil Dance From One Photo](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/toc-toc-dance-ai-trend): One-foot hops with a knee up, a fist that knocks on an invisible door, kicks and a wide-arm finish, all on the toc toc beat.
