At least your cat hasn't resorted to eating the toilet paper too. When she was alive, Cabo would unfurl the toilet paper and eat it, because she knew that would make us feed her.

I am quite sure that it will be next step...
No, the next step will be if this feline discovers that books........also contain paper.
Think of how cats revel in and relish the actual action of physically sharpening their claws.
What their claws offer when engaged in ripping paper or something equally satisfying is a sensation of pure illicit yet ecstatically thrilling pleasure; the only thing more enjoyable that the wonderful sound of ripping is probably catnip.

Other cat found out already and made a very cozy place to sleep behind some books on the bookshelf. One book must've felt behind the row of books on the bookshelf and guess what she thought? "Let's prepare a nice bed!" Ten stars for creativity.
It's always charming - and I must admit, somewhat relaxing - to see them sharpening their claws. Of course I gave up in having any intact piece of furniture. I assume that I'd do the same if I were a cat.
Interactions between cats are also interesting. Just yesterday one of my cats (I have 4) walked in front of my youngest cat and he hissed at him in the meanest way. Two seconds (literally, two seconds) later they were licking each other, hugged. Go figure.

Bathroom TP fun: pull out a length of TP, don't tear it from the roll, toss the end into the toilet ... flush and watch it go
(Later, wonder where all the TP went after you show this trick to a 6 year old ...
)

Pfffbbttt, 😋 try flushing the toilet paper roll holder down the toilet, like toddler me did.
This must be what the ladies at work did! They blocked it twice last month!Bathroom TP fun: pull out a length of TP, don't tear it from the roll, toss the end into the toilet ... flush and watch it go

They brought cats into work, or simply set the flushing mechanism to work, endlessly......?
Blocked the toilets. I can post pictures if you like.
One time my wife thought the FBI was going to find our stash, and she tried flushing a bunch of big bags of coke down the toilet!
... oh wait, that was Goodfellas

Hahaha, part of me says, yes, please provide photos ...
... but seriously, don't.
So I signed the lease on my silly expensive new house on Wednesday, just afterwords I went to the UTAP (Utility Tax Avoidance Office) to sign up for the program so I could finish the paperwork to initiate my LQA (Living Quarters Allowance) paperwork they told me that the next available appointment was the 29th of November. While I know it’s not the problem of the lady I saw I was all kinds of passive aggressive with her because the alternative was actually aggressive. I got back to my office and explained the situation to my boss and he used the wife network to move my appointment to the morning after I move in. While I get that the bro network ( Vitamin B network as my wife calls it ) get chit done and I’ve used it more than once this is basic chit that shouldn’t require that since it’s not out of the ordinary. If that wasn’t bad enough I needed to use him again to get computer access. While I’d somewhat get the problems if I was walking in off the street but a 20 years with the same employer and this petty stuff ought to be seamless...
Does that trick work for other things that are long and stringy, such as small intestines?Bathroom TP fun: pull out a length of TP, don't tear it from the roll, toss the end into the toilet ... flush and watch it go

Asking for a friend.
The Cell and Braveheart both popped into my head ...
Maybe a little Itchy and Scratchy too
Meta: Is that friend zombie movie director Lucio Fulci or George Romero (Neither of whom are still here but you never know.)
Colleague that resigned left a few textbooks on budgeting and finance for local governments. Body ain't cold yet, but I immediately seized them.
At least they weren't snatched before his or her departure.
Only because they were likely hidden... I am not a thief, but when we talk about juicy books I might be seriously tempted at times...
No, @yaxomoxay, of course, you are not a thief; but, when asked (if ever questioned) about those books by the previous (but since resigned) owner, one might consider a reply on the lines of "no, those books were not feloniously removed, they are merely resting on my selves."
But, yes, I must reluctantly concede that "juicy" books do afford a source of temptation not usually found elsewhere.
I arrived late to this discussion of cats and unrolling toilet paper...
Cats do apparently like to see it pile up in front of them. A sense of accomplishment, so to speak. Try re-installing the roll so that it unrolls the other way (away from you). Then what mostly happens is they just punch holes in the thing or shred pieces off the front of it, and so get bored with it sooner. Will still cost you a couple rolls but easier to dispose of... once they can't depend on it to amuse them they usually leave it alone. Of course the next they they do is try to find something more expensive to shred...

Good point. True, yes! You're right. I am just protecting those books from some deranged person that could throw them away. In other words, I should be commended for sacrificing my space for those books.
It's like a fatal attraction. Contrary to Ulysses, my sirens would just say "free books and free high quality coffee." My resistance wouldn't last half a minute.
My youngest bro once flushed a smallish teddy bear in an upstairs bathroom... this as the after-dinner coffee for adults was concluding in the livingroom, on an evening my dad had invited his boss and spouse to our home to dine. Right, so that upstairs bath happened to be located over the front vestibule. The bro kept trying over and over again to make the bear "swim all the way down the hole" as he explained later, and the water kept overflowing... eventually seeping through to the junction box for the overhead lights in the vestibule just as the guests were being ushered through to the hallway for their coats. A couple sharp noises, a bright flash, the smell of smoke and total darkness in the front of the house ensued. Oh yeah, the memory of the bear that refused to swim remained famous for years. My dad's boss used to tousle the bro's hair on return visits and ask how that bear was doing...
🤣
That sounds like a (winnie the) Pooh(p) moment.
At least, the boss got a good laugh out of it.
What's on my mind? Hitting the Nike store on Tuesday in between jobs to try and get snow boots and a pair of sneakers on sale. Maybe a jacket too...
and hoping tonight's rain holds out until I get home...
What to bring to those magic classes I mentioned earlier?

His girlfriend/wife thinks so. 🙃
