Wonder where all the toilet rolls have gone? This could be one explanation: Toilet rolls have been used to entertain cats during self-isolation. Cat toys made from toilet rolls are a great way to bond with your cat and provide stimulation. This will help release their pent-up energy and minimise behavioural issues.
