Japanese bell-ringing cats return with fruit-shaped hats
By Daniel Uria | June 26, 2017 at 10:56 AM

June 26 (UPI) -- A pair of cats in Japan that have been trained to ring bells for treats have improved their act by donning fruit-shaped hats.

Twitter user b_ru_ru shared a series of videos showing the two well-trained felines frantically tapping on the bells to receive treats while sporting the silly hats.

The first video from June 17 features the cats wearing apple-shaped hats, while maintaining the bell-ringing skills that first made them viral stars.

For the next four days b_ru_ru shared videos featuring the cats wearing melon, banana, orange, strawberry and watermelon hats.

...for these cuties to learn this. I could watch this all day long.

I have such a bell. I am going to see if our cats can "get it." 2 of them look like mirror images of the 2 in the video.

I showed our oldest cat Athena how the base works...now when she wants food in the AM and I'm still in bed....she turns the light on so that I get up.

I trained my other two cats to come home for the dinner bell.
