Toilet paper only goes on horizontal rollers with the flap facing down in the front of the roll. No more feeling the back of the roll to find the loose end.

My cat wants to move in with you for some reason

I have had cats for years and never had this issue outside early kittenhood. Interesting.

I had an actual fight with my wife once about this. We've always had cats, and it's scientifically proven that, in households with cats, the only right way to mount toilet paper is with the loose end down back.

I lost that fight because she played the "petty" card, but I at least got her to agree that - whichever way - we had to be consistent. Inconsistent mounting is worse than any other consideration.

If you flatten the roll before putting it on the roller the kink prevents kitter-spinnies. This lets you put it on the right way 😋
