How to Make a Kiat Jud Dai Kitten Parade AI Video
Turn one photo of your cat into the viral Kiat Jud Dai Kitten Parade AI video. Replace the opening leader and final close-up, with the original music.
Getting one cat to follow instructions is hard enough.
Getting six of them to line up, walk on their hind legs, and dance in perfect formation? Good luck with that.
Unless, of course, you let AI handle it.
The Kiat Jud Dai Kitten Parade is the viral cat video where a seemingly endless line of fluffy kittens marches down a street at night. They wave their tiny paws, bounce to the beat, and take turns showing off for the camera.
One even wears glasses. Another gets a little too close and licks the lens.
Now imagine your cat leading the parade, then returning for that curious face-to-camera finish.
Same fluffy face. Same ridiculous ears. Same little patch of white fur on its nose.
That's this version of Kiat Jud Dai Kitten Parade AI: one pet photo becomes the opening leader and closing close-up. The supporting kittens keep their own appearances, including the one in black glasses.
Want to make your own? Try the Kiat Jud Dai Kitten Parade AI effect on TrendClipGen with one animal photo.
Your cat leads. The kittens follow.
One animal photo controls the opening leader and closing close-up. The other kittens keep their own coats and faces.

The video starts innocently enough.
A tiny white kitten stands close to the camera with its paws tucked under its chin.
Then it moves aside.
Behind it is an entire line of kittens walking upright along a road at night. One by one, they step forward, bounce to the music, wave their paws, and disappear past the camera.
Just when you think the parade is over, another kitten shows up.
And then another.
The ending? One particularly curious kitten walks right up and appears to lick the camera.
One example is a parade clip by @meowtakeover on TikTok. MakeViral's trend background dates that post to November 5, 2026 and describes later template versions and reposts.
The music is "Kiat Jud Dai," associated with DJ Red Core. You'll also see the trend written as Kiat Jud Day Cat or simply Kitten Parade AI.
And no, the kittens aren't actually walking on two legs. The original viral parade is AI-generated.
But that hasn't stopped cat owners from wanting their own pets to join.
One Cat. The Parade's Main Character.
Here's why this trend is even better when you personalize it.
Imagine your orange tabby taking the opening spot, tiny paws raised, while a whole line of kittens waits behind it.
Or your serious-looking black cat getting the final, very unserious face-to-camera moment.
This preset changes only the opening leader and the returning animal nearest the lens at the end. The pale, tabby, orange and glasses-wearing kittens in the middle remain separate supporting animals. Your photo does not turn the entire parade into copies of your pet or add glasses to the lead.
Your own version starts with an ordinary photo of your cat. The intended result is the same recognizable animal leading the routine and returning for the close-up, surrounded by the reference's supporting kittens.
The photo above is the supplied orange-and-white cat photo, paired with its generated parade video. The cat appears as the opening leader and returns for the final close-up, while the supporting kittens retain their own coats and faces.
The more recognizable your cat's face and markings are, the funnier the result tends to be.
Especially if your cat usually spends the entire day sleeping.
The Photo I'd Choose Before Making the Parade
This is one trend where your cat's fur matters almost as much as its face.
The opening lead is visible from farther away, then returns very close to the lens. Its coat colors, stripes, patches, eyes and ears need a clear reference across those changes in distance.
So rather than choosing your cutest blurry picture, find one where those details are easy to see.
A good starting photo has:
- One cat clearly visible, without another pet overlapping it.
- An unobstructed face, ideally with both eyes open.
- Good lighting, so the fur colors and markings are clear.
- Most of the body in frame, including the front paws if possible.
Include the ears, muzzle, body and paws, plus any collar or clothing you want to keep. A tight head-only crop gives little reference for the upright steps.
Your cat doesn't need to stand on its hind legs.
And you definitely don't need to dress it up or take it outside at night.
The AI creates the road, camera angle, and animated movements.
What if my cat isn't a kitten?
An adult cat can be the reference. This preset directs the lead to retain the uploaded animal's species, age, build, coat and visible accessories; it does not deliberately turn it into a white kitten. The supporting parade stays kittens. Body proportions can still shift during the upright steps or close-up, so review the result.
Make Your Cat the Star of the Parade
A ready-made effect is the simplest way to recreate this specific video.
Here's how to use the Kiat Jud Dai Kitten Parade effect on TrendClipGen.
Find the kitten parade.
Open the effect and watch the preview. Look for the nighttime road, low camera angle, line of dancing kittens, and final close-up.
Upload your cat's photo.
Choose a clear photo containing one animal. It controls both the opening leader and the final close-up. The other kittens are not additional upload slots.
Generate your parade.
This preset generates a 12-second, 9:16 vertical MP4. Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p, review the displayed credit cost, then click Generate. It keeps the supplied reference's original soundtrack; no song or custom voice selector is offered in this flow.
Check progress in My Videos. When your video is ready, watch the whole thing.
Does the leader have your cat's markings? Are its paws moving naturally? Does the final close-up still look like the same pet? The different coats on the supporting kittens are expected in this version.
If you're happy with the result, download it and send it to every person who's ever said your cat is spoiled.

Why Do Some Kittens Look Different?
Here's something worth knowing before you generate.
The supporting kittens are meant to look different from your cat. What matters here is whether the opening leader and the final close-up remain recognizable as the same uploaded animal.
Sometimes the AI gets creative in ways you didn't ask for.
A tabby might suddenly lose its stripes. A white patch could move to the wrong side of the face. Two kittens might briefly overlap, or a paw might look suspiciously like a human hand.
These things can happen when AI tries to animate several small animals at once.
A sharper photo with clearly visible fur markings gives the model more information to work with, but it won't guarantee identical facial and coat details between the opening and closing shots.
If the lead's face or coat changes, try a brighter photo showing the full ears, muzzle and distinctive markings. If its paws look awkward, use a photo with the body and paws visible, without a person holding it across the chest. The exact step timing, spacing and moment each kitten passes can still vary from the reference.
What About the Original Kiat Jud Dai Song?
The trend is associated with "Kiat Jud Dai" by DJ Red Core, a fast, bouncy dance track, as identified in MakeViral's background guide.
This TrendClipGen preset keeps the supplied reference's original audio on the finished video. It does not generate new dialogue, a custom pet voice or a replacement beat. The opening and closing animals do not have spoken lines to lip-sync; the final tongue movement follows the visual routine.
If you add or replace music when posting, choose a version you are authorized to use in the destination platform's music library. Including the reference soundtrack does not grant you music rights. Check the platform's terms and the permissions for your intended use, particularly for commercial posts.
How Much Does a Kitten Parade AI Video Cost?
You can browse TrendClipGen's available video effects without paying, but generating videos uses credits.
TrendClipGen offers one-time credit packs and membership options. Its regular USD Starter Pack reference price is $9.90 for 100 credits, and credits purchased in one-time packs don't expire.
The current 12-second effect costs 40 credits at 480p, 80 at 720p, or 200 at 1080p. Eligible offers and regional prices appear on the pricing page.
Check the displayed credit amount before generating. A 100-credit pack isn't guaranteed to cover every video effect.
See the TrendClipGen Pricing page for current details.
If a generation fails because of a technical problem, the credits used for that task are automatically returned.
A completed video that doesn't look exactly how you imagined is different. Generating another version may require additional credits.
Questions Cat Owners Might Have
Can I make the Kiat Jud Dai kitten parade from one photo?
Yes. This preset takes one single-animal photo for the opening leader and final close-up. The other kittens keep separate appearances. Choose a clear image showing your cat's face, ears, coat markings, body and paws.
Can I include two different cats?
This preset has one animal slot. Use a photo of one pet; it does not assign two pets to alternating positions or turn the supporting kittens into additional uploaded animals.
Can I make a dog parade instead?
This effect accepts an animal photo, so a dog can take the opening and closing lead role. The supporting parade remains kittens. It is not an all-puppy parade, and a different body shape may change how the upright steps look.
Is Kiat Jud Dai the same as Kiat Jud Day?
Yes. Both spellings are used online for the same dancing-kitten trend and associated sound. You may also find it under Kiat Jud Dai Cat, Dancing Kittens, or Kitten Parade AI.
Is this the same as the CapCut kitten parade template?
This is a separate photo-based effect in your browser; it does not require CapCut. Your animal takes the opening leader and final close-up roles, while the night road and supporting kittens follow the supplied reference. Do not assume another template has the same roles, soundtrack or settings.
Will all the kittens look exactly like my cat?
No. Only the opening leader and closing lens-close animal use your photo. The middle kittens, including the glasses-wearing one, keep their own appearances. Even on the lead, fur markings, eye colors and facial details may vary during movement.
Your Cat Has a Fan Club Now
Your cat probably has no interest in becoming an internet celebrity.
It's busy sleeping on your keyboard, knocking things off shelves, or staring at an empty corner of the room.
But that doesn't mean it can't lead a miniature dance crew.
Find a photo you love, turn it into a Kiat Jud Dai kitten parade, and watch your cat take the opening and closing spotlight.
And when you post it, the caption almost writes itself:
- "My cat started a movement."
- "My cat brought backup dancers."
- "The council of cats has arrived."
- "POV: my cat is in charge of the night shift."
- "Mochi and the entire management team."
