Whenever his owners open up the fridge to grab something, he would place his furry orange paw on delicious foods through the crack in the door.
Meet Carrot, the orange tabby cat who is going viral for raiding his owners’ fridge. Whenever his owners open up the fridge to grab something, he would place his furry orange paw on delicious foods through the crack in the door.
Unfortunately for him, his plan hasn’t really been the most successful because the only time he can sneak his paw in is when the fridge door is ajar, which usually means someone’s standing right there. But hey, at least he’s trying.
According to Rachel Zardus – Carrot’s owner, she rescued Carrot when he was just a kitten. A good person found him at a gas station and then took him to the hospital to check over his health.
Rachel Zardus, who rescued Carrot when he was a kitten, described him as a ‘rambunctious and mischievous little guy’, adding that he’s ‘definitely always been a sneak’.
“One of our best friends works at a local animal hospital. Someone found him at a gas station and brought him to the hospital. He was fostered for a bit by someone else but we suspect it wasn’t a good situation because he was very stressed and they ended up surrendering him back to the hospital. Carrot then lived at the hospital for a couple of weeks, and our friend who worked there brought him over to our apartment one weekend when she was looking after him.”
The cat’s food obsession certainly gives some background to the image that was shared and liked thousands of times. Carrot’s owners provided the full story behind the photo:
“Carrot thinks it’s a game to stick his arm through the fridge crack and grab us while we are in there. No, he has never been hurt by this (lots of people on the internet seem to think that), and luckily we are only a house of 2, are very careful, and we know when he’s doing it. The sign was put up as a reminder. The photo was not staged, and we actually didn’t even think of taking the photo until we saw him do it with the sign and laughed at how perfect it was. If it was staged we would’ve cleaned out our fridge! Haha”
Zardus described Carrot as a rambunctious and mischievous little guy.
“He’s definitely always been a sneak! He’s always doing sneaky stuff — hiding in his tunnel, jumping out at us as we walk through the apartment, playing tag and hide-and-seek — all are some of his favorite games,” Zardus told.
