This is the hilarious moment a pet owner caught her cats raiding the fridge in search of snacks.

Footage shows the tabby feline named Ponkan taking the lead as it used its paws to pry open the refrigerator door in Quezon City, the Philippines.

Ponkan moved cautiously but managed to poke its head inside while the other cats gathered behind waiting eagerly.

The orange moggy peeked through the shelves before Hazel Glaze Noro's voice was heard shouting.

She said: ‘Hey Ponkan, I caught you all. You opened the fridge. Why are you acting like a victim now?'

Ponkan let out a few meows, seemingly trying to explain the situation, as Hazel turned to the rest of the cats.

She added: ‘What are you all doing? You're trying to help. All of you are guilty.'

Ponkan then sat in a corner, amusingly scratching its neck like nothing had happened on January 29.
