My eyes then glanced downward, where I quickly solved the case of the missing roll. It appeared that a fluffy furball ventured into the bathroom at some point and had a battle with the toilet paper. Not a single square of paper survived the ordeal. It all strewn about in a chaotic mess on the floor of the bathroom.
This was not the first time that I have discoverd a pile of shredded paper products on the floor. A few weeks prior to this incident, the same curious cat found a roll of paper towels that he could not resist in the kitchen. I woke up to the remains in the morning. A month before that, he decided that my magazine would be his victim for the day. He must have really not liked one of the articles.
While cleaning up destroyed products is not a difficult job, it can be time consuming and pricey. My cat is able to rip up paper so well that is becomes useless to us humans. Why is he rebelling against me?
That is when it hit me...
He was bored.
There are quite a few cat toys tossed on the floor in the house, but he was ready for something new. At my most recent trip to the pet supply store, I decided to buy a few more cat goodies. Knowing that he goes crazy for cat nip, I purchased a new mouse that you fill up with the stuff. He loves it. I also stocked up on balls with bells and things on strings.
He is now a content kitty. Whenever the urge hits him, he tears up a toy instead of my toilet paper. Of course, I try to keep those other tempting items out of his reach now.
Does your cat like to eat the paper in your house as well?
