Cat Rings a Bell for Treats

noreply@blogger.com (Miss Cellania) — Tue, 21 May 2013 19:00:00 +0000

This cat has it made. From the YouTube page:

I trained my cat to ring a bell for treats. Now, when he wants treats, he will lay down in front of the bell and ask his servant_me to give him..When he gets full, he will push the bell away, and clean his paws

Why would anyone cede that much power to a cat? Of course, the cat considers this service to be the natural order of things. (via Laughing Squid)
