Cats (and small children) are a good reason to put it with the loose end at the back, but in a cat- and child-free household, I think front-facing is easier to use. Although I think if one could only use one hand due to injury or whatever, back-facing might be better.
Is this thing about cats actually true ? Occasionally, browsing something like icanhazcheezburger, I run across references to cats pulling the free end of the toilet roll and wreaking havoc.
I think while I was living with my parents we shared the house (at various times) with five different cats (six if you count next door's which visited a lot) and none of them ever played with the toilet roll. I'd assumed it was a thing only cartoon cats did.
