I would guess that your predecessor stabbed at the ice layer with pointy knife instead of defrosting it properly.

Why would any pet ever claw inside your freezer?!.

Yeah, I'm guessing they used a honing steel to smash ice buildup.

Source: I've used a honing steel and plastic mallet to break up ice in freezers before.

I agree, these can't be cat toothmarks because they'd be in pairs. And I'm extremely glad no cats were frozen in the creation of this post.

This wasn't where the ice buildup was - I guessed maybe they left the door open at some point and an animal had a nibble

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

This wasn't where the ice buildup was NOW, because they'd chipped it all away. Generally, marks from cat teeth come in pairs.

Those are pretty big for cat claws. I would guess dog.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah not a cat. Their claws are too sharp for these marks.

Randomly got Obi Wan vibes off your reply, lmao.

They're really small, just a close up picture - holes about 1mm - I assumed teeth? It's the bottom drawer so about cat-face-height

[–] ewigkaiwelo@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Doesn't look like claw or teeth marks. Maybe those people b3fore you tried to speed up the defrosting by punching it with a sharp object like a knife that left tese marks?

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Or an ice pick.

I was sure this would be a picture of the dead cat you found in the freezer

How are the marks made in the freezer
