My cats used a whole roll of toilet paper!
My cats unrolled all the TP from the dispenser thingy while i was sleeping! I woke up to find it all over the house! I can't keep the paper on the roll dispenser, because they seem to do this whenever it's attached! Anyone have this problem too?

2. No my dogs are trained to use just two squares. Cats are so finicky.
How about shutting the bathroom door. Move the box if it's in there!

4. Wait until they learn that they can take the rolls that are NOT on the
dispenser and do that little hug-it-and-rabbit-kick-it-to-shreds game with it. THAT makes alot of confetti.

Maybe try closing the bathroom door?

5. Remove paper from rollie thing
I have the same issue with my puppy. She has a paper feitish. Any paper be it tp, paper towels etc.... She rips it up into tiny little pieces. I never realized there was so much tp on the rolls. We have resorted to taking it off the roll and placing it up high.

12. One of my cats loves to do that....
but I discovered if I put the roll on backwards, she can't roll it off, no matter how hard she tries!

13. keep the bathroom door closed
how old is the cat? usually kittens are the culprit in toilet papering the house

or it could be the type of toilet paper you are using? Soft? Scented? try switching brands

one of our cats turns her nose up at catnip, but loves rolling in and shredding basil

14. My solution
was to put a bar on the TP support to stop any motion of the free end. The furnace vent would blow on the end of the roll. Anything that moves is a target for my cat. The bar lays on the top of the roll so it's a zero maintenance solution.
