Nina was so impressed by the Cat Haikus that she turned her paws to poetry:

While it is still dark
I am planning a surprise
White Shreds of TP

(She has discovered the entertainment factors of toilet paper, for those who
find this enigmatic.)

They may have been interested, but you may be putting the rolls in
with the loose end against the wall - that prevents the TP from
unrolling when the cat paws the roll and they tend to lose interest
quickly.

No I don't. My Mum is the only person I know who puts the tp roll like
that. :o)

TP is fun

It was a Martian word from a very popular 1961 (can it really be that
long ago?) Robert Heinlein science fiction work called "Stranger In A
Strange Land". It meant to understand and appreciate something so
completely that one could affect it with psycho-kinetic effects. It
passed into common usage and now appears in my copy of "The American
Heritage Dictionary."

> grok tr.v. grok·ked, grok·king, groks.
>Slang. To understand profoundly through intuition or
>empathy. [Coined by Robert A. Heinlein in his
>Stranger in a Strange Land.]
