Bengals. Gotta love them.

I’ve seen fridges online padlocked with a lock that actually screws into the metal. You’d need to research how long the screws can be and you’ll probably invalidate any warranty you’ve got.

Had a moggie once who opened the fridge door by leaping, sticking her claws into the rubber seal at the top of the door and leaning back... when I used strong sticky tape at the top she was stymied

Sealed containers?

Can you just lock him out of the kitchen?

They hate citrus smells - can you clean the fridge door with citrus cleaner?

Fluffycloudland77 · 19/09/2021 17:57

Ours was a door opener. We locked the door. He would jump up and twang the door so we rotated the handle so you pulled it to the right to open the door and one night we forgot to lock it. He sat on the console table and opened the door.

I'm impressed that he managed to move the chair across the room to get to the fridge. Grin

Those pictures made me properly laugh Grin little bugger.

I'd also either put the door handles on upside down or replace with knobs with locks.

steppemum · 07/10/2021 10:00

Oh those pictures are priceless!
What a monkey!

Fluffycloudland77 · 07/10/2021 16:53

All normal Bengal behaviour. One day you’ll forget to lock the fridge and victory will be his.

Or a slice of ham.

Girraffe1968 · 08/10/2021 09:09

Got some new locks coming so will see how we go with them
