Ah yes, I see. ;-) Well, in your case, there is no hope of relief, the cat
will never learn that it's bad. Why should she give up one of her chief
enjoyments in life? ;-) In my case all those funny desasters will, if we are
very unfortunate, soon be replaced by real desasters, something called
puberty and teenage years. Oh, that reminds me of the video on youtube, the
one with the cat who flushes the toilet, again and again and again... That
would be really annoying. Ahh, kids... Ahh, moggies. ;-)

Unlike our four two-legged kids, the cats will never want to borrow the
car. The kids are all grown and gone, so I do enjoy the cats, even with
the antics.

Yes, very true... Don't they say that every rose has its thorn? ;-) Let's
enjoy moggies and kids as they come along with all the good and bad. I
wouldn't want to give the little darlings back, neither two- nor fourlegged.

One of our cats will shred kitchen roll if he gets a chance, but (so
far) he totally ignores toilet roll - maybe it's a texture thing?

That sounds like it, but don't count him out. He may not have
discovered the potential yet.
