My 2 year old girl cat, Aloo, started taking out the tissue paper from the box in the morning, about a month ago. I bought a tissue box cover, hoping to discourage her, but she still goes at it. Now she's started attacking the toilet paper! This morning, I woke up to find the toilet paper, scattered and shredded all over the house. Does anyone else have this problem? Could this be out of boredom? Or is she just extremely hungry and trying to wake me up? I play nightly with my two cats, but she is not as enthusiastic or eager to play as the boy.

It's hard to say if she just enjoys this, or enjoys provoking a response from you, but you may have a better idea about that.  If she unrolls the toilet roll you can try putting it on so the TP rolls "under" so she can't unroll it by spinning it.  She may be bored, perhaps its time for more play time and more toys....
