China: Cat Accidentally Locked Inside Freezer Caught on Camera

On February 13, 2023, in Songyuan, northeastern China’s Jilin province, a video shows a woman placing items into her refrigerator. While she was arranging the food, a small house cat quietly climbed into the lower freezer drawer beneath the main compartment. Unaware the cat was inside, the woman closed the refrigerator and sat down to check her phone. Moments later, a loud meow from the fridge caught her attention. She rushed back and opened the freezer drawer, where the cat emerged, walking stiffly and unsteadily from the cold. The clip ends as the cat moves away, leaving the open drawer and empty freezer behind.

On February 14, 2025, in Liaoning Province in northeastern China, a video captured a golden retriever rolling back and forth in a snowy field.
