It's tail scratches that does the trick. If you watch carefully at about 0:27 you can see the action as it happens.

The slight hollow at the top rear of the pelvis, right ahead of where the tail is attached.
So exciting it can provoke the overexcited bite/scratch/hand murder reflex, so be careful.

Moving in story...
So Cat™ is going a bit nuts in the new house; big old house, new smells and too much change for his tiny feline brain. (It should also be noted that this is in the middle of the recent heat wave.) He’s following me around for a couple of hours meowing like crazy; now mind you this is Melon’s cat and I’m just the big ugly thing that brings him food and cleans his crapper. He’s not very bright so I tried to settle him with all of the normal things like food and here’s your crapper, basically the standard routine. From what I’ve read the stress of moving is hard on cats and I wanted to calm him down before he decided to use a non-conventional litter box – like maybe my slippers (again).
However, just no luck for me in that area as he was still acting spastic. So finally I figure I should see what he’s on about and follow him whilst he’s meowing at me. The knuckle-head leads me down to the basement where it’s nice and cool, he then lies down on the cement floor, rolls around and then looks at me and purrs.
So basically a cat that cannot remember where his food bowl is from hour to hour wanted to show me that we were all silly for not joining him on the basement floor to cool down from the heat…
Now I’m not sure who is actually the knucklehead, me or the stupid Cat™.

Either he loves you so much he wanted to share his cool spot with you, or hates you enough that he wanted you to know that he'd be napping in comfort while you were sweating your ass off moving boxes. My guess is the latter.

Just make sure he doesn't "accidentally" kick the door closed and latched on his way up the stairs...

Well Cat is a very expensive Norwegian Forest Cat that I bought as a present for Melons. He is a certified asshole and I'm at times tempted to have his nuts removed for revenge if nothing else. Since moving here to a temporary house and then finally our own house all of the animals have been distressed and won't leave the area I'm in, I've taken to sleeping most of my nights in the workshop with them just to keep them calm. But Cat was an asshole before that - the jerk peed in my slipper!

Oy - cat here gets the same treats just not as many. His role in the house is to hunt and eat rodents and that is the best way to teach him. However it's a bit foolish to feed him on the living room carpet.

I can tell you never had a cat because what is heard in the background is the unmistakeable (to cat owners) sound of a cat pitching a hairball.
That's musician Susumu Hirasawa who was in the midst of recording a spoken outro for an album before being forced to pause and say "The cat just threw up."*

Louis Wain (1860 – 1939) was an English artist best known for his drawings of anthropomorphised cats.
In his later life Wain developed schizophrenia, which psychiatrists speculated at the time was brought on by toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that can be contracted from cats. He was first committed to a mental hospital in 1924. He was transferred to the Nasbury Hospital in St Albans in 1930 and this is when his artistic style took on a dramatic transformation. He became increasingly deluded, but carried on painting cats. Psychiatrists point to the abstract patterns in his later paintings as evidence of his schizophrenia.

It's likely that the 'schizophrenia' interpretation of Wain's work was a fabrication. Dr Walter Maclay, published a series of pictures Wain drew later in his life to support his theories about mental illness.
This now-famous sequence of artwork supposedly shows Wain's decent into madness and is supposedly proof that his artistic abilities deteriorated over time as his schizophrenia worsened. However, there is no evidence that the drawings were made sequentially and in fact Wain continued to make his conventional if kitschy kitty art well after his release from the hospital. I first came across these pictures when I was eight or nine, and was always puzzled by them. They were presented as a mental patient's attempts at realistic representations of live cats produced in chronological order, but to me they were all equally artistic and showed merely a change in style, not in ability.

If that doesn't work, cyanide gently dissolved in a bowl of milk will cure such behavior. Call it crème de catcease.
