cat proof toilet paper holder?

[Joe Pitt]

Someone told me they saw a toilet paper holder with a cover in a catalog
'somewhere'. Anyone seen this. I have a couple that won't leave it alone and
another is trying to get it off the shelf I'm currently storing it on. I
tried turning so it won't roll out and then she gets so frustrated she
shreds it.

Can you just keep the bathroom door closed?

Balance a light weight plastic bowl about half full of water on top of
the roll so that when it's disturbed, the water spills out. Yeah, it
makes a mess, but I had to do it only twice to break the stubborn
toilet paper dragging yearling I once had - she never touuched it
again for the rest of her 17 years.

i got something like this, Tiara doesn;t seem to bother with it when inside:

But this is probably what you need more:

They got it in brass or chrome, pricy but surely you can find cheaper
version in some major shops

This page shows a couple of hoodes toilet paper holders (both recessed and
surface mounted -- scroll a short way down the page). Would that type help?

That might work, but I do rescue work and let the kittens and teenagers run
the house with my own(after 10 days of quarentine). It would be a constant
training exercise.

The hooded recessed one looks like a winner. Thanks.

Weel, I've had a lot of cats in the last 35 years or so that I have
been keeping cats - as many as fourteen at a time - and only a very
few have defeated the trick of rolling the paper off the back, so I
have had to use the water trick for only a couple of cats in all. I
haven't needed to use it in almost eighteen years.

Of course, teenagers complicate the situation: it's much harder to
teach them not to play with toilet paper than it is to teach cats.

Try this:

Get a wide rubber band and stretch it over the TP and on the posts holding
the roll. Pull the rubber band into the roll until it become difficult to
spin. This will allow you to unroll the paper when needed but take all the
fun of a spinning roller for the cats.

Worked for me,

Personally, I prefer moist wipes to toilet paper, so I don't have problems
with the cat shredding rolls of paper. :c)

Apart from this, you could always hang the roll from the ceiling - out of
reach. I bet your cats would find this really frustrating. he he he
