There are several strategies to avoid the sweltering summer heat. Some individuals—including myself—consume enormous amounts of delectable chocolate ice cream. Others make an effort to remain hydrated, fan themselves, and find shade. However, there are instances when the heat is so intense that all we want to do is dive inside a refrigerator for a while to cool off. As it turns out, this isn’t only something that humans like to do.
Meet Tali the silly cat who loves staying in the fridge. That’s right. In the fridge. Yes, I know, it’s bizarre, but it’s also very… cool. Every time Tali’s owner Christine opens the fridge, the feline jumps right in. One time, Christine accidentally shut the cat inside. But worry not!
This wasn’t the case of ‘curiosity killed the cat’ coming true. After Christine couldn’t find her adorable cat, she quickly realized what she must have done. That’s when she found Tali chillin’ inside the fridge, as happy as can be.
However, that’s not the only weird behavior this particular adorable cat exhibits. Tali, the fridge cat, also has an unusual love of water.
According to Christine, she was showering one time when her funny cat jumped in alongside her and splashed around. One time wasn’t enough, however, so Tali kept jumping in and out. She’s an extraordinary cat but in a wonderful way.
More information on Tali was provided by her owner Christine to Bored Panda. “Tali is a 4-year-old barn cat, and we don’t know her complete breed, but we do know she’s part Maine Coon,” Christine said. She’s always been a water cat and like relaxing in flowing showers and drippy sinks, but the fridge was only a fleetingly amusing story.
The owner said, “I believe she just leapt in for the same reasons most cats would – to go into a place they’re not meant to be.” She could not easily fit in the fridge because of her size and thick coat, but she hasn’t actually tried in years. These days, she’s pleased to lounge in sinks and demand that we open the faucet for her.
Apart from the heat, I racked my head and came up with a few other hypotheses that would account for Tali’s actions. She could enjoy being confined. She could believe that she is teasing her master. She could also have learned that because the food is in the refrigerator, staying there makes the most sense.
As it turns out, Tali isn’t the only cat who enjoys spending time in refrigerators. Therefore, it’s more of a catspiracy than just an odd cat habit.
On Quora, a lady wrote that cats examine refrigerators out of curiosity. Because of its depth, compartments, drawers, shelves, items on the shelves, and the enigmatic areas behind those items, Kathleen Vilmure speculates that the refrigerator is just a highly alluring location to investigate.
And as if all of this weren’t enough, there are a variety of delicious odors from various delicacies that need to be explored. Dorothy Peck, in contrast, believes that the odd behavior is entirely related to the delectable food.
Contrarily, Stacie Taylor Cornett believes that cats enjoy closets and refrigerators because they serve as “hidey-holes” for them.
