The battle of the loo rolls continues!

Round 1
Loo roll on holder.
It didn't stand a chance.
Round 2
Loo rolls moved to bathroom cupboard.
Location identified. Door opening achieved. Total annihilation.
Round 3
Target location shifted to hessian bag on hook high up on bathroom door.
Operation bath time.
a) While the servant (me) is in the bath operative unknown opens the bathroom door.
b) Alfie causes a diversion by sitting on me in the bath pretending to play with the water.
c) Isobella covertly locates on the toilet cistern.
d) Isobella leaps from cistern to top of door.
e) Isobella removes new loo roll with claws, transfers to mouth and exits with haste.
f) Alfie immediately relocates.
g) Alfie and Isobella discovered a short time later in living room. The loo roll did not survive.

I need a new plan.

I'm sorry but that's really made me laugh! Makes my two look like angels in comparison. They have attacked the loo roll on numerous occasions but they are not that determined, and fortunately the cupboard I keep them in, they can't reach to open the door - I'm not sure they would bother even if they could though!! I think they prefer kitchen roll as they've shredded that a few times - always a delight to come home from work and find confetti all over the kitchen lol

Perhaps you need to invest in some child locks for your cupboards?! I had some when our boys arrived, specifically on the cupboard where all the cleaning stuff is kept, but fortunately they've never actually bothered to try to open it.

I would suggest closing the bathroom door whilst you have a bath but as my two shout the house down if I shut them out, I can appreciate it doesn't make for a relaxing bath! Our bathroom door is kept closed the rest of the time though.

Other than that, I guess you could take out shares in the toilet roll brand you use!

Don't worry any cleaning stuffs are locked away.
It's just with loo roll you need it close at hand and with three kids you can't have it secured with multi layer, high level security, although I am just starting to consider this.
To be honest I am starting to enjoy the battle of wits, despite the fact I am loosing badly.
Alfie in particular loves the bath, we now have a soak in the bath before showering to get clean just to keep Alfie happy, many times he will go in to the bath and make himself known very vocally until we put 4 or 5 inches of water in at which point he will have a splash about, quite often the bath is left with some water in all day for him. Isobella not so keen but seems to enjoy watching and I am not sure who it is yet but one of them seems to be able to turn the bathroom light on.
After reading this I think the cats have won, we are their slaves. Oh no!

Have you watched 'Seven things you should know before buying a Bengal cat' on you tube??

It is all so very true!

Oh boy .... what little sneaks you have. Raiden has no desire to check out the loo rolls (love that term). I usually keep the bathroom doors closed if we aren't home -- just to be on the safe side. I've seen bengals destroy paper towel rolls, too, but Raiden isn't interested in those. I just loved your story!

Mine wait for the empty cardboard roll and the crinkly paper from the new roll and play with them for hours. I have seen shreds of actual TP around but they don't go crazy over it thankfully.

Mind you those sneaky furry monsters will probably figure a way to make it a hot tub for them and not a loo roll free cleaning machine for you !!!! Haha Love it!!
