Eager Cats Attempt to Eat Invisible Tuna From an Empty Plate In Pavlovian-Style Experiment

An adorable and very eager group of cats who are accustomed to getting a daily treat of tuna, attempt to eat the invisible goody from an empty plate. According to Jordan Randomness, the human belonging to these felines, this slightly callous trick was a Pavlovian-style experiment for which the kitties were handsomely rewarded.

Every night these adorable cats are treated to a delicacy of fine quality tuna. However, on this night their owners decided to offer a bit of ‘Pavlov’s Invisible Tuna’, named after Ivan Pavlov’s classical conditioning concept…”Yes, it may seem a little mean to trick them, but their reactions are priceless. After a good laugh, they all had a feast fit for a king!”
