Black cats are shown with incense sticks in their buttholes. We assume this was done with CGI.

The majority of the video shows cats flying across the screen then falling. It’s not clear exactly how this was achieved but the cats were most likely given a soft place to land.

The idea to have cats flying all around for the video was that of the French directors, explained band member Vincent Vendetta in an article at The Dwarf. “They had an idea to throw dozens of cats around and we were curious to see how they could do that without offending animal cruelty groups. My initial reaction to the video was to laugh throughout—and obviously no animals were harmed.”
