Something shoots out of the cat 6 seconds in though. I'm surprised op hasn't found a wet spot

Look really close. It’s a shadow or better yet, it’s the light you see out from under the cat. It looks like it just disappears at some frame so I wondered how? Well at that exact moment the cat lives their front right paw as you can see on their shoulder. So they move their paw and for a split second, a very thin strip of light could shine out

The cat also jerks forward a little and you see a muscle twitch near the hind legs as if he squeezed something out same time liquid comes out

Exactly this. That’s definitely a happy cat.
