  1. Poor cat could easily get stuck in there if the door closed.

    If they didn’t film it, they’d wonder why food had all this cat fur in it & who was leaving empty containers in the fridge.

    1. Our cat is very good in getting herself locked up. Last year she spend a whole night in a closet, which I had opened for just five seconds or so. Only the following morning when I couldn’t find her, I realised she might be in the closet.

    2. I was thinking that at first, but the cat clearly has the strength to open the door. Modern refrigerators don’t latch, so it shouldn’t matter if it’s inside or outside. It’s probably easier to push the door open from the inside than pry it open from the outside.

  3. I too, was worried about that cat, but I am going to just let myself assume the people will do something so the cat can’t get in when no one is around. But all that aside: absolutely hysterical. And tenacious indeed! The leap-down-with-cheese move was impressive. And, of course, the act of opening the door and using the pot as a stepping stool.

  4. Next time my cats bug me for food I shall tell them they know where the fridge is!

  5. No way in Hell am I going to let Baihu watch this one…I think the only reason he hasn’t figured it out on his own is that mine is a bottom-freezer model and the geometry wouldn’t work unless I put a stepstool in the right spot. Still, it’d be a bad idea giving him ideas….

  6. I had a kitteh who would open the freezer and fridge. He never nommed anything, but he would throw bags of frozen veggies on the floor. When I got home from work, I’d see an open freezer door and puddles of thawed fudz.

    Dis kitteh is playing wif Ceiling Cat nao.

  7. That’s just WRONG, and to stand there filming the cute kitty as it browses through all the prepared foods that you might ultimately consume or provide to your family seems just a tad irresponsible.

    I get that you have a cat fetish, Jerry, and surely there is nothing better than a youtube video of kitty porn to drive traffic to or from your site but this is an epic fail.

    Personally, and I have a cat, I’d have drop-kicked it the moment I saw it clawing at the refrigerator door, especially if I knew s/he it would be sniffing and sampling all of the entrees within. I’ve SEEN Jasmine root around in the litter box, I’ve SWEPT-UP all of her hair, that’s just DIS-gus-TING.

    2. Thank you for your advice on what videos I should or should not post, for the information that I have a cat fetish, and that I use videos to attract traffic to my site.

      Given your feelings on this matter, I strongly suggest you frequent another site where you don’t have to watch this kind of video.

      1. WOW! Jerry, I’m not surprised that you defended your right to post cat videos on your site, but you must admit that even if not disgusting, it is dangerous (wrong) to allow a cat or any other animal to rummage through one’s refrigerator. I think you were harsh on Arabiflora, but it’s your site and you can treat your guests as you wish. Simply allowing cats or other animals on the kitchen counter top is bad enough, but this is too much.

        Furthermore, as Diana commented, a cat could very easily be trapped inside a refrigerator because almost all have self-closing doors.

        Regardless as to whether or not the video is entertaining – don’t try this at home, don’t you think?

        1. Yes, and I am assuming readers are smart enough to know that I don’t think people should allow cats to be able to enter their refrigerators. Do I need to post disclaimers about everything, like “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME”?

          Yes, it’s my site, and, as I’ve always said, I don’t like people telling me what or what not to post. It’s one thing for readers to warn about not letting cats get into fridges, which is fine, but it’s another to accuse me of having a “cat fetish” (I just like cats) and putting up cat videos to attract traffic to my site. I see a difference here: one of civility, politeness, and not dissing the host. Some people, it seems, reserve the right to be rude in my home.

          But feel free to put up all the warnings you like. I love the ones I get when I post pictures of a rich meal, with people chiming in saying, “Hey, that can kill you. Don’t eat like that!”

          1. Jerry, please relax and take a deep breath.

            Nobody dissed you or was rude to you. And I didn’t suggest that you literally warn “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.” It was only a figure of speech.

            So what if you have a cat, boots, Chicago fog, and food fetish? We all have fetishes of some kind.

            Finally, I’m not so sure about how smart people are when it comes to the way they treat and consider their pets.

        2. You are, of course, assuming these people *didn’t* clean the refrigerator after getting the video. I think it’s probably best that you never go to their house for dinner. Feeling the way that you do, and all.

  8. An eager cat face licking like there is no tomorrow seen through the bottom of a plastic container is one of the engagingly funniest things I have ever seen!

    A cat of ours would jump up on the closed kitchen door’s handle so we had to lock that door to keep our comestibles fur free.

  9. This is matched in the natural world by the persistence and ingenuity with which grey squirrels get into, steal from and occasionally destroy, the bird feeders in our garden.

    1. Indeed! I’ve had squirrels chew the holes bigger in the feeders. I’d get angry but they’re cute so they get away with it.
