Cat vs. Toilet Paper, Need Suggestions!

Asked by MissAnthrope (21511points) August 27th, 2009

So, I have just about the best cat ever, except for one thing—her vicious hatred of toilet paper. TP obviously strikes rage into her heart. It’s more than an occasional attack, it’s just about every day. I figure that somewhere in the past, a roll of TP must have mauled one of her family members and it’s a vendetta I’m helpless to stop.

The last place I lived, we had no TP holder, so we’d find the roll on the floor with claw marks, usually salvageable. In my new place, the holder was broken and there was no place to keep the roll in guests’ sight, yet out of the cat’s reach, and the cat was having a field day. One fell in the toilet, I threw it away, then she knocked the next one into the garbage can on top of the soaked roll, so it too was ruined. I went and bought a TP holder. Sadly, I fooled myself into thinking this was the end of the feud.

I even tried some Flutherites’ suggestion of putting the roll under instead of my preferred over, but the cat has somehow figured out how to pull all of the TP off the roll anyway.

We are broke college students and can’t afford to go through 2–3 rolls of TP every day. I’m wondering if anyone has a brilliant suggestion as to how to have the TP on the roll, yet keep it from all unraveling on the floor when the cat decides to have a grudge match.
