# The Clapping Cat Prompt, Copied HTML page: https://knightcatai.com/blog/clapping-cat-prompt The tested clapping cat prompt for the still and the 10 second video. One pet photo, human grin, two small hands, clap sound. Published 2026-10-14. You do not have to type a prompt. Clapping Cat on Knight Cat AI sends these two. They are the tested text, copied here so you can read them. The same blocks are on the [prompts page](/prompts#clapping-cat), with a copy button. The tool is the [clapping cat page](/clapping-cat-ai). One pet photo. No people. A free watermarked still, then 1 credit for a 10 second 720p video with clap sound. ## Still prompt Use the uploaded photo as the base. Keep the animal's species, breed, face shape, eye color, fur color, fur length, stripes and markings and body size exactly the same as in the photo. Keep the same real room, floor, colors and light from the photo; do not add or remove furniture. A real phone photo taken by the owner standing over the pet and looking down at it. The pet now stands upright on its hind legs in the middle of the floor, facing the camera and looking straight up into the lens. It grins with a wide, slightly creepy human smile showing a full row of straight white human teeth. Instead of front paws it has two small human hands with five fingers and short nails, about the size of a child's hands, with skin tinted to match the fur around the wrists. The hands are raised in front of its chest, palms open and a few centimeters apart, caught mid-clap. The whole pet is in frame from ears to hind feet, with floor all around it. Natural indoor light, real fur detail, slight phone-camera softness. Photorealistic, not a cartoon, not CGI. Vertical 9:16. Exactly one animal and exactly two hands. No extra paws, no extra limbs, no people, no clothes, no text, no logos, no watermark. ## Video prompt A real, funny home video filmed on a phone in one continuous shot, from above, by the owner looking down at the pet. Keep the animal's face, fur, markings and its two small human hands exactly as in the image, in the same room. The pet stays standing upright on its hind legs in the same spot, staring into the lens with a wide, creepy human grin that shows a full row of straight white human teeth, eyes slightly narrowed. It claps its small human hands slowly and firmly, about five or six claps with a short pause between each, like a sarcastic slow clap, hands opening wide between claps, while its head bobs subtly in time. Only the face, arms, hands and head move; the body does not walk away. The camera stays almost still with a slight handheld sway. Audio: slow, loud, crisp real hand claps in a quiet room, in sync with the hands, and nothing else: no music, no voice, no meow. Exactly one animal and exactly two hands with five fingers each. No extra paws, no extra limbs, no morphing, no cuts, no text, no logos. ## What the words are doing The still keeps the animal, the room, and the light, then stands the pet up with a human grin and exactly two small hands, caught mid-clap. The video keeps that still and asks for about five or six slow claps, with crisp hand claps and nothing else in the audio. The knight styles append “animal paws, no human fingers”. This template does not. That suffix would fight the hands. ## If you post it Label the clip as AI where a platform or a law asks.
