On the other hand.. the cat is thinking... "Look, I am training this human to give me food each time I click this switch" :)

Really useful if you happen to live in one of those houses where all your light switches are on tables.

The next step would be to move the lightswitch around until the cat is pressing it where-ever it is, and then gradually moving it up onto the wall until he is pressing it there, too. Eventually you move the fake one next to the real one and reward the cat for pressing either, and then eventually remove the fake one completely. Voila, lightswitching cat.
