I heard a funny noise and I thought Tessie was scratching at the
armchair in the livingroom so I went out there to yell at her... only she wasn't there! And I could still hear the funny noise. Then I realised it was coming from the bathroom, so I went to see what on earth she was up to and guess what I saw? Poor Tessie was standing in the litterbox pulling sheet after sheet of paper down into the litterbox. lol I'm not sure how she came to grab it, but once it was in the litterbox, she had she didn't have any solution other than to keep on going... and I'm sure she was thinking 'where the heck does this thing END?!' |

If you need tips on how to end the behavior, I have a couple: 1) mount the roll so the paper comes off next to the wall; 2) if that doesn't work, get a very light weight plastic bowl (a lot of stuff is packed in suitable containers), fill the bowl about half full of water and balance it on the roll so that when the cat pulls down on the front of the roll, she gets drenched - I've never had to do that more than twice to the same cat, and only to two cats in the last 35 years (the last time was when Fluffy was young [she's 17 now] ... she still won't go anywhere near a TP roll). I'm trying to type with Fleagor across my arm - 13 pounds of very affectionate cat. It's not easy. -- T.E.D. ) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla). |

Poor baby, how confusing. OTOH, Miranda used to do that quite on purpose, so you never know. The litterbox just didn't happen to be anywhere near the TP roll. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

It used to be the TP around here- we used to tell visitors if they wanted to use the toilet and needed paper "It's on my computer in the bedroom so take it from there and put it back afterwards" This morning it was once again an innocent box of tissues- the usual not so guilty party is Dunzi but as I can't prove who shredded an entire box of man sized tissues since it was done in the night I can't blame her- Sarsi has also been known to do it... Then again Dunzi WAS the one lying on the sofa, on a pile of tissues next to the evidence as it was since Dave has horrendous hay fever right now I had to go and get another box of tissues. I think I may have to keep them under lock and key Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
