We've sacrificed a few rolls to toddlers. Ehh, it's all part of raising kids, right?
I happen to be married to a cat lady. If I raise to much hell about the cats, she'll tell me, "If I have to choose between you or the cats, your ass is gone!" Well - cats. Unlike toddlers, the damned cats will destroy an entire CASE of paper, and go in search of something new to tear apart. I came home once, to find that they had torn into a brand new six pack of paper, that hadn't even been opened.
I finally had enough, and bought a cheap little cabinet. It has two shelves, between them, enough space to store the largest package of paper normally found in grocery stores. Beneath the shelves are a couple towel rack thingies. Those dowels aren't removeable, so I can't put the rolls on top of those dowels. But, the rolls do lie nicely on top of the dowels. This whole thing is mounted on the wall, within reach of the throne, and just high enough that the cats can't reach it.
So far, the cats haven't figured out that they might leap, and snag a roll before they fall.
I'm somewhat of a cat guy. My wife doesn't like the cats as much in part because of things like the toilet paper. She used to say "You love those damn cats more than you love me!" I always responded "That is not true. I don't love the cats any more than I love you."
