He's lying on a gray couch when the hand arrives. It finds his nose and starts to tickle, and Ollie's whole answer is to stay exactly where he's and let it happen. His face goes soft and content, the face of a cat who is getting precisely what he came for.

Then the purr. It runs under everything for as long as the tickling lasts, steady as a little motor. One person listened on headphones and says it sounded so good that way. Another pins the best moment to the second: sixteen seconds in.

An adult cat with tabby markings, lying on a gray fabric couch indoors. The headline runs in white letters across the lower third. — Some cats want food, and some want the warm spot by the window.

Ollie is a ham for the camera, and a nose tickle only brings out more of it. The whole thing lasts thirty-five seconds, about the right length for a nose tickle and nowhere near long enough for the people watching.

Mostly, they want more Ollie. One wishes he were theirs, and another announces plans to kidnap him. Ollie, still on the couch, has no comment. He is busy.
