Pet owner demonstrates genius trick using old toilet paper rolls: 'Such a cute idea'

A cat-centric TikTok account showed followers how to use empty toilet paper rolls to create a fun, cheap, and stimulating toy for cats.

On the TikTok account for Murgel the cat (@cat.murgel), Murgel's clever owner showed how they taped six toilet paper rolls together and added treats. Murgel immediately engaged with the homemade toy.

The TikToker showed that all you need is a few cardboard toilet paper tubes (they used six), tape, and cat treats. Use the tape to connect the tubes. In this video, they built a little pyramid, but you can experiment with different shapes that your cat might like. 

Fold the tape over so it's double-sided, rather than wrapping tape all around the tubes. This makes the toy bouncier and easier for cats to navigate.

Once you build your little cardboard structure, you can slip treats into all the tubes so your cat has something to work for. This creator used small treats, but you can try different ones to see what entices your cat the most.
