Default cat proof toilet paper holder?

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.

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.

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.

But this is probably what you need mo

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

or

Although I know cts love sea grass, so it may not serve the appropriate
purpose

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?
