Comments seem to show this is about a literal living animal’s limb… thought it was about the bone-colored thing sticking out from the bag with blue on it, containing green stuff…
if i misinterpreted the tone of your post, i apologize, but i wanted to clarify in case you weren’t aware, that is what the post is about; that bone colored thing is an animal limb (orange tabby cat sticking to their arm through from behind the fridge door)
Nah, thanks for clarifying. I judged this completely wrong because I did not realize the arm was coming from behind the fridge door.

Or don’t, and the cat will learn after a few closures.
it could very well break the cats leg. you wanna pay the vet bill or let the cat die?
You do realize you can close it gently and have the cat learn it can be hurt right…a few times of you closing it, it will learn that’s a dangerous spot. Catering to it and allowing it to do dangerous things while you treat it as a cuddle whatever helps nothing. Teach them.
I saw this happen to a person once with a poorly designed door, it was real bad, multiple crushed bones. Adult humans can’t figure this out, you can’t expect a cat to understand, it would probably just think you hurt it and be more afraid of you. That said I checked how the hinge on my own fridge works, and the solid parts at the hinge do not actually come in contact, it’s just the rubber seal, so I think it might not be quite that dangerous. My go-to solution in this situation would probably be along the lines of, glue a strip of plastic sheeting to the edge to prevent this to begin with.
You need to check for a cat arm before you close it gently too. If you are expecting for tactile feedback, your cat will just lose an arm.
