WhatsApp-style prank text story: The new neighbour cat
A ready WhatsApp-style chat for a harmless prank, seven messages long and about 29 seconds as a video. Load it, change the words and export it as a labelled, fictional mock-up.
The full script (7 messages)
The first four messages open on the Free plan; the rest need a paid plan.
The script: The new neighbour cat
Load The new neighbour cat and you get seven messages: Luca starts with "Just a heads up, the building voted to get a shared cat.", Luca closes with "Fair. Still a good cat.", and the read-through takes roughly 29 seconds.
Message 1 is the longest at 12 words ("Just a heads up, the building voted to get a shared cat."); message 2 is the shortest ("A cat? Which cat?"). One line asks a question, so the other person keeps answering.
How the WhatsApp look carries the story
Double check marks turn blue once a message is read, so a pair of grey ticks next to the last line says delivered but unseen, which is an easy way to show someone being ignored. No upgrade is needed to try WhatsApp. Switch on typing dots, read marks, reactions and an online status when you build the scene. A small date chip such as "Today" floats above the first message, a good place to hint at when the story happens without writing a line for it. ChatsRat draws WhatsApp with its own layout of bubbles.
Writing notes: prank
Give the target the last word: a calm "I'll get you back" turns a one-off prank into a series. Do not make the target a real person or a minor, and do not use a real company as the sender. Invent the sender and say the chat is simulated.
What the Free plan shows
On a Free account you see four messages of The new neighbour cat, ending at "Luca, there is a stuffed cat in my hallway.". To get to "Fair. Still a good cat.", three messages later, upgrade to a paid plan.
Tips
- Pause on Sofia's "Luca, there is a stuffed cat in my hallway." before moving on to the next bubble.
- Let the opening "Just a heads up, the building voted to get a shared cat." breathe so a late scroller still knows who is talking.
- A prank story loves a quick payoff, so aim for a video under thirty seconds with the reveal in the last five.
- Make the ending your own by editing "Fair. Still a good cat."; add "fictional chat" to the caption.
- Try two new names in place of Luca and Sofia, then read the story out loud once.
Questions
Can I use The new neighbour cat on the Free plan?
Yes for the look, with limits. The WhatsApp look is on the Free plan, and the editor loads the first four of the seven messages and two people. The rest of the script needs a paid plan. Exports on Free carry a visible ChatsRat watermark.
How long is The new neighbour cat as a video?
About 29 seconds at a comfortable reading pace, counting seven messages with a short beat between them. Add a second or two for the ending card and a little more if you use a typing indicator before the last line.
What makes a prank story funny rather than mean?
The target should be fictional, the trick harmless and the ending warm. If the story would embarrass a real person, change it.
Is this WhatsApp-style chat a real conversation?
No. It is an invented story between Luca and Sofia, made as a mock-up. ChatsRat is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by WhatsApp, and the name describes a style only. Label the video as fiction.
This is fiction. The people and events in this story are invented. ChatsRat makes mock-ups and fictional conversations for creators, designers and teachers. Do not use it to pass off a made-up conversation as a real one, to impersonate a real person, or as proof of anything. See the Acceptable Use policy.
