A Calico Stands Knee-Deep in a Hallway Full of Toilet Paper

AI imagecalico cattoilet paperhallway

Shreds of toilet paper cover the hallway floor like fresh snow, and the calico standing in the middle of it has her ears pulled back, her orange, black, and white face lifted, and a slightly worried look in her yellow eyes. The tissue is heaped against the walls and scattered through the doorway, and behind her a backpack hangs from a hook. She is a small cat in a very big mess.

Toilet paper is one of the greatest cat toys ever invented, since it unrolls with a gentle tug and flutters as it falls. For cats, the chase and pounce are natural instincts, and a roll that spins is almost impossible to resist. A cat that loves this game can be kept busy by offering a cardboard tube, a crinkle ball, or a wand toy. Closing the bathroom door or using a toilet paper cover can protect the roll. A small amount of paper is rarely a problem, but if she eats a lot, talk to your vet. Calicos are almost always female, thanks to their coat genetics, and are often said to have strong personalities.

She is a determined cat who has strong opinions about toilet paper. The clean-up will take a long time, and the roll will not be fixed. But she will always be ready for a new roll.
