Many people have been amusing themselves by giving their cats buttons that say words: "pets", "toy", "food", "mad" etc.

Cats will readily learn to press buttons if it prompts a reaction from humans. There is a lot of over-interpreting cat behavior. The words are so suggestive... but it seems fun for the cats and people.

It is ... telling that multiple cats enjoy pushing the "mad" button over and over. Maybe because humans find it funny? Or maybe because it is true.
