Our cat Bob attacks the paper towels when he feels it's dinner time and we aren't responding appropriately, they're screwed in under the cabinet where his food is.
He acts out a bit when he doesn't get his way! Our other male does the same action
on the carpet that you describe (ears back, full enthusiasm!) feet flying. He looks pretty silly, we encourage him too, and get him all wound up. "Go, Butters, go!!"
Hahaha...sounds cute. I'll have to watch for this. We had a cat in the 80's who Loved to unroll the t.p. Our last kitty, Abby, would get on the kitchen counter and unroll the paper towels. Half the time we didn't stop her 'cause it was so cute to watch. Her ears would flatten back since the roll is attached under the cupboard and her paws would unroll that thing at top speed.
There are a number of youtube videos like this one. Cats totally love looking at running water.

I have heard of it but have never seen it. Why does everyone get to see it and I don't? lol
wouldn't give them up for the world!
I've seen the commercial. It is pretty funny. :)
Gotta love our cats, right? :D
