UM-Bot Posted April 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The experiment saw two cats being provided with a bell that they could ring in order to receive a treat. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/306024/cats-ring-bell-to-get-food-in-bizarre-video 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted April 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2017 That's funny to watch, clever kitties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_mc Posted April 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I would also want to do that, being able to just ring a bell and somebody will bring me food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaldon Posted April 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Classical conditioning. I don't know why, but I feel a bit disgusted by such "funny" experiments. I understand when it's for the sake of science, but conditioning poor stupid animals so aggressively just for fun, it's simply immoral. Modern kitten food is a sort of drug by itself, when combined with aggressive conditioning I don't know what could be the results.

FLOMBIE Posted April 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I did something similar with my last cat: Every time I fed him, I rattled my keys. So whenever he was outside, and I needed him to get inside for some reason, I rattled my keys, and he'd be shooting home like a rocket. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendy Demon Posted April 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I kinda like how the tabby starts ringing the other cats bell instead of his own. Better hide the bells or you'll be hearing them ring at three in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
