I believe the hair trap should remain in the bathtub drain. My small roommate believes it should be dislodged and swatted around the bathtub. We are at an impasse.

My quartet of roomies think that playing Super Mario Bros with the filter grille of bathroom drains is the most interesting thing to do, and they need to go and investigate secret tubings.
My old roomie used to unroll the TP to play with; I turned it the other way to stop this and he SHREDDED the entire roll in revenge. From my experience, turning it so he can unroll it is annoying but costs less TP
You know what distracts them from rolls of toilet paper? Rolls of paper towels. My Natasha loved getting her claws into a nice new roll of paper towels.
If unspooling is in the picture, the slightly less convenient but effective fix is to put the roll on 'backwards', so it spools off the back. But don't tell your roommate I told you about this.
Mine will attack rolls of TP while still packaged. Last week they attacked a new package while I was unloading groceries. Even if we put it into our linen closet, they will open the closet to get at it (it's an old house and none of the doors securely shut). What did toilet paper do to hurt my cats?
My child is nearly 24 and (when home) also believes it should be removed. “You pay for the plumber, not me.” Apparently it slows the drain. Well, yes, because it’s full of YOUR HAIR.
I have a fully adult roommate who believes as well that the hairtrap should be in motion during every shower, except for the drain area. Solidarity my friend.
My smaller roommate believes this also. I have learned to live with it. I have also learned to buy a spare hair trap for those times when that little bastard knocks it out of the tub and god-knows-where.

Maybe it's just that in our house there's always plenty of junk on the floor to play with.
