Some questions please.

(Video 0:36) What does it mean "the toilet papar goes over"?

It's printed that way - Here I guess they refer to what is printed over the paper.

Then she says that toilet paper goes under if you can explain what they meant I will apperciate that.

Don't get at it - that means so the cat won't try to eat it?

The toilet paper goes over. It's printed that way so you could see it. No. The toilet paper goes under so that the cats don't get at it.

"Over" means the roll is mounted so the end hangs down on the side closest to you, and when you unroll it, each sheet goes over the top of the roll as it's pulled out. "Under" means the roll is mounted so the end hangs down next to the wall, and when you unroll it, each sheet goes under the roll as you pull it out. By "printed" I think he means the lines of tiny holes that mark each individual sheet.

  • "Over" means the roll is mounted so the end hangs down on the side closest to you, and when you unroll it, each sheet goes over the top of the roll as it's pulled out.
  • "Under" means the roll is mounted so the end hangs down next to the wall, and when you unroll it, each sheet goes under the roll as you pull it out.
  • By "printed" I think he means the lines of tiny holes that mark each individual sheet.
  • If the roll is mounted "over", it's easier to see these lines of holes.
  • Cats will grab the end of the toilet paper and pull it out and tear it to shreds.
