I would also want to do that, being able to just ring a bell and somebody will bring me food.

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.

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.

Yet, no harm is done. The cats could be enjoying it.

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.
