So far we have three people that have made the same comment about not being the front view. I’m using copy comments as TP tomorrow.

    Unless you have a cat that likes to play with them… Then the other direction.

      Why not just shut the door so the cat doesn’t get in there? The toilet paper being hung correctly is more important than the cat for me.

        One of my cats knows how to open doors like a fucking velociraptor. We’ve baby locked several of our doors but some things like the bathroom I don’t like fucking around with extra steps when trying to get into at 3am

          Oh hey, my fear. Do you have door knobs, or uh - the flat handled kind that swing down or up? I just realized I don’t know what those lever like door handles are called.

          I can hear one of my cats pawing at the door knob at night, he’d be getting in places he shouldn’t if we had those flat kind.

            Bank vault doors. With digital keypad entry systems. They’re really smart cats.

              That comes in handy when a girl comes over over, too

            The flat/lever kind, can get them open first try from either side of a door it’s impressive. He’s way too smart for his own good and I suspect he could work a round style one if it had enough texture on it. The menace certainly gets into everything else in the house

              Our Kimchi is working so hard on this and I don’t usually think of her as clever. She knows the knob opens the door so she bats at it, hangs on it.

              Neither cat has been messing with the toilet paper lately though.

        Because I don’t like the smell of cat shit anywhere outside the bathroom

          Then teach them not to play with the TP roll.

            Ah yes! “Just teach” the cat. Easy

              If you spend time with them yeah it can be easy. I have two cats. They both listen to me.

              You can’t expect them to just automatically know what not to do.

                But people get cats so they don’t have to interact with them.

                The cat listens to me. It understands nothing, though

                  Well, then teach it to understand. Do you think dogs just automatically understand everything too?

                  Why are all of the people in here getting animals if they don’t want to spend time with them? They’re not magic beasts.

      Depends on the cat. If they’re simply going with tapping the roll to spin it, that may work for a bit. I’ve found that rolls accessible to a cat tend to morph into big balls of clawed unusable pulp.

        When I was a young kid, I had a cat that was front-declawed (this was before it was well known that it’s an abusive practice - my folks didn’t know better at the time). Because he couldn’t shred the paper with his claws, he showed his spite by chewing up the roll so it looked like he’d clawed it. Didn’t matter which direction the roll was.

        I loved that cat. He was so smart.
