Comment on There's a reason why some people hang toilet paper over while others hang it under

I hang it under so that my cats can’t unravel it easily
I trained my cat not to touch it.
I took a metal measuring cup from the kitchen and set it atop the roll. As soon as he’d go to pull on the paper it would fall off and make a loud clang against the tile floor.
After just a few scares like that, he’s not touched the roll in years.
You can’t reprimand a cat into not doing something, but a small change to make doing it unpleasant makes em stop pretty quick.
Cat: noted rolls the toilet paper at night, causing as loud of a noise as possible
Same goes for toddlers. Also I find that I can easier hold the roll and rip off a piece with just one hand when it is under.

New copypasta just dropped (⁀ᗢ⁀)
I heard of this, then i tried this, my cat still able to pull it somehow. Now i’m wondering if my cat is just extra naughty.
Your cat is probably just smarter than my little dumbasses, lol
I’m sorry, on lemmy we only strive for the dogmatic pursuit of the ideal.

I’ve seen this said a few times, and I agree that it is a valid reason.
But whoever is doing it like this out of preference has something very wrong with them.
