    There's no way I'd get my cat into a box that easily! She's too clever....

    It's amazing what animals can do.

    I can't listen to the audio because I'm at work, so I can't get the whole gist of what's going on here, but it is pretty cool.

    My old cat managed to pull itself along on a skateboard after I put him on it an rolled it around for a bit, so it doesn't surprise me too much to see a cat capable of doing something like that. He just wanted to play with the wheels...

    In essence: you can teach a cat tricks if you give it food or some reward (very much like humans :D)

    The diff between classic conditioning and operant conditioning is that in operant conditioning the subject must perform a task for something to happen, it's not an automatic response. There are more diffs but that's the jist of it imo.
