Polynomial is very fond of chewing up toilet paper rolls. We have had to stop having toilet paper on a roll in the downstairs bathroom because Poly will destroy it anyway. At first it would just be a problem if we left it overnight, because that’s where Poly stays. More and more over time, though, it’s become problematic to leave toilet paper on the roll for anything length of time. The end result of this process has came a few days ago. Charles had used the bathroom, so I had gotten down the toilet paper for him, which he put on the roller. I was dealing with an Alice issue at the time, and didn’t catch the significance of Poly hanging about outside the bathroom’s closed door with Charles inside. A few minutes later Charles is out and I find Poly padding about the house in a good mood with a string of toilet paper hanging from her mouth. I checked the bathroom and yes, there was a huge pile of shredded toilet paper. Poly has apparently learned that “boy in bathroom” means “fun paper chewing”.
