- Your cat's face turned towards you, sharp and in good light
- Ears and eyes clearly visible, since the stare is the punchline
- One animal only, nothing in front of its face
- Coat and markings come from your photo, so skip filters
Cats are the classic, especially chunky ones that fill the chair. Dogs work too; smaller breeds look best because the desk reaches their chest. Any pet that can sit up with its paws in front will do.
What is the Me at Work trend?
A ten-second office meltdown in a bright open-plan room, filmed from one fixed spot. The joke is that your cat never looks at you: it's just another Tuesday on the job. It grew out of the old cat-at-a-laptop gag, and the app versions took off in October 2026. Pick the plain desk look, or a little white collar with a blue tie. The clip has keyboard clatter, office hum and a grumpy huff, with no music.
You add the sound yourself in TikTok or Instagram when you post. ChatGPT can't make this video; this page can, from one photo.
The look is free. If you love it, the video costs one video's worth of credits, charged only when it's ready, and refunded automatically if it fails.
Can my dog do Me at Work instead of my cat?
Yes. Your dog takes the office chair with its front paws on the keys and gets just as fed up.
Can my cat wear a tie?
Yes. Choose the shirt-and-tie option and it gets a small white collar and a plain blue tie.
Does my cat break anything?
No. Only the keyboard takes the hits, the screen stays blank and nobody else is in the office.
Will it look like my pet?
It keeps your pet's face, coat colour and markings from your photo. The free look shows you before you pay.
Does it work with black cats or dark dogs?
Yes. Use a photo in good light so the eyes and face shape show; dark coats need light most.
Can I use a puppy or kitten?
Yes, any age. A sharp photo matters more than age.
Can ChatGPT make this video?
No. ChatGPT can't make videos itself right now. Upload your pet's photo here and see a free look in about a minute.
What happens to my pet's photo?
It's kept privately, used only for your video, never used for training, and deleted after 30 days.
