          No, the door of a residential bathroom has a specific purpose, besides the normal door-related ones. It’s a vacant/occupied sign.

            I just look under the crack of the door to see if the light is on.

            Some folks prefer to keep the door shut, to keep from stinking the rest of the place up.

      People always say that. Like it was in every cat’s nature to unroll the toilet paper when they see it. And it’s the only argument they have. I have never seen a cat do this and I have a lot of friends with cats.

        My husband and I had a cat for nearly a decade and she never so much as looked at the TP roll. Our current gremlin has sprinted at top speed into the bathroom because he heard me open the cabinet where we started hiding the TP when he wouldn’t leave it alone. He actually tried to grab it out of my hands, and I had to play tug of war with him! I’ve never encountered any other cat as hellbent on destroying TP, but he lives for it. Shreds it like he’s plucking a bird.

        Consider yourself lucky. I still do it the normal way, but cats absolutely will unroll a toilet roll if it catches their attention.

          It entirely depends on the cat. Some cats will, others couldn’t care less.

        I’ve had 2/5 cats I’ve had donut, so the roll always goes down the back. Kept my kid from unrolling it for about a week lol
