Nine Lives, One Left: the zombie cat AI video

Cats do the zombie hug their own way. In a ruined apartment lit by cold moonlight, you have a gun raised at the zombie cat on the windowsill and you cannot do it. It gives you a bored look, turns away, then hops down and bumps its head against your leg like it always did. You put the gun down and crouch, and it climbs into your arms and curls up. The scene cuts to a warm afternoon on the sofa, your cat purring in a sunbeam on your lap.

What happens in the 15 seconds

• 0–4 s: You aim a pistol at the zombie cat on the windowsill, in tears, hands shaking, and do not shoot.
• 4–7 s: The cat gives you a cool look, turns away, then jumps down and head-bumps your leg. You lower the gun and crouch, arms open.
• 7–10 s: It climbs into your arms and curls up against your chest; you rest your face on its head as the picture cuts.
• 10–15 s: A warm memory: your healthy cat sunbathing and purring on your lap on a sunlit sofa while you stroke it.
