She was loose in the house (so long as the cats were outside) and when spring came she decided to make a lair under what we called in those days "a hi-fi cabinet." The space was just barely tall enough for her to slide under. She, too, thought TP was just the thing to line a nest and soon we were startled by TP unrolling out of the bathroom, down the hall and through the room to the cabinet. Her only problem was that sometimes she got such a big mouthful that on re-entry her head was too big to go through the opening. So she rammed and rammed and rammed until the TP must have softened and flattened.
