Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Hey guys! So I watched a video called "cats and bell" from cat navi desk and it was so adorable that it made me want to try with my cats. Here's how it went. I taught them to give paw a few years ago so I started with that. Jun: Oh, that's cheating. That's cheating! I don't think you need to teach them a paw trick first, but if you're interested, I have a video about that, too. I'll put the link in the description. The first step was to get them to touch the bell. Jun: Oh! Good boy! Jun: Can you give me a paw without me giving you paw? Jun: And then- Nagi: [SNEEZE] Jun: -press it here. Jun: No no no, this one. Jun: Nagi, give me your paw. Jun: Thank you. Jun: High five! Jun: Good boy. Jun: Bell. Rachel: I can hear his purring from here. Jun: Bell is here. Jun: Haku! Give me your paw. Jun: Gimme paw? This one. Yeah. Jun: You just gave it to me. Nagi was definitely the quickest learner. Jun: Poki, sit. Jun: Yeah, that's my finger. Jun: No Jun: Poki. Jun: No Jun: Okay... Jun: Sit. Jun: Gimme paw? Jun: No. Jun: Gimme paw. Jun: No! Jun: Yes! Jun: Ow. Jun: Gimme paw. Jun: Sit! Jun: Poki, you see- no, not my finger. Jun: This. Jun: Ok, you touch it. Jun: You see the bell? Jun: You see the bell? Rachel: He just wants to lick, Jun! I started trying to teach them with a normal bell but it was difficult for them to ring so I switched to a bell that's specifically for pets. Jun: Ok, give paw. Jun: So close, so close! You see the bell? Jun: Nagi, give paw. The second step was to only reward them if they made the bell ring. Jun: Give paw. Jun: Good boy! Jun: Poki, come here. Jun: Give paw, yep. Jun: And then you press it, like that. Okay? Jun: And you get the food. Jun: Ok. All right, buddy. Jun: Poki! Poki, sit. Jun: Sit. [Rachel opened the door] Jun: Poki! Jun: There you go. Jun: Poki, you're so smart! Jun: I'm gonna put this on the floor, all right? Jun: You see the bell? Give me paw. Step 3 was putting the bell on the floor. But they would ignore the bell and reach for my hand. So I kept holding the bell, even though it was on the floor. Jun: You got it. Jun: You understand, too? Jun: Good job. Jun: You guys are so smart! Okay okay... Jun: Haku! Jun: Sit. Give me your paw. Jun: Paw Jun: One more time. Jun: Give paw. Jun: Haku, up. Jun: Nagi, high five. Jun: Yes! Jun: Nagi, one more time! Jun: Yes! Good boy. Step 4 was getting them to ring the bell on their own without me touching it. Jun: Haku! Remember the bell? Jun: You're so close! Jun: Haku, remember the bell? Jun: Yes! Good boy! Jun: Here you go. Jun: Remember how this works? Good boy. Jun: Nagi, are you full? All right. Jun: Poki! Come here! Don't be shy. Jun: Don't be shy. Jun: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Here you go, sir. Jun: Poki! Remember? The bell? Jun: Look at Haku. Jun: Look at how he gets the food. Jun: Poki, you're so close. Jun: Poki, bell? Jun: There you go! Good job. Good boy. Jun: Poki, you're done? Jun: No? Jun: Are you guys done? Are you guys full? Jun: Good job! Jun: Okay, good job. Jun: Hungry boy. Good job. Jun: Good job, Poki. Jun: There you go. Jun: You want more, too, buddy? Jun: You guys are so hungry. For step 5, I decided to test them to see if they would still ring the bell, even if I wasn't paying attention. Jun: Okay! Jun: All right. Jun: Okay, okay! Jun: Here you go, here you go. Jun: There you go. Jun: Good job, guys! good job. Jun: I'm gonna hide this now. I have work to do. Jun: Good job, guys. And finally, I decided to just have a little fun. Jun: All right. Jun: If you ring the jackpot bell, you'll get a lot. Jun: Would you like to try? Jun: All right, come here. Jun: Hi kitties. Jun: So, this is the one you've been using. It's pretty easy. Jun: This one is for humans. It's very difficult to ring. Jun: You have to press it really hard at the right spot. Jun: Yeah, it's difficult. Jun: All right, let's give it a try! Jun: Congratulations!! Jun: Congratulations!! Jun: Well, you guys can share. Jun: Poki! Jun: Join us. Jun: All right, enjoy.
