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.

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

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