Is there a correct way to put a toilet paper roll on?

Yes I believe so....and I've thought quite a bit about this too.
it should be so the paper rolls over, so when you pull it the sheets are on top of the roll. This way if someone comes to your house and is a messy wiper, whenever they touch the roll to unroll more paper, they are always touching the side they will be using since they will likely be touching the top of the roll to unroll. plus usually the piece hanging off the roll is usually against the wall, so if they are messy wipers, they could accidentally get shit on the wall where the toilet paper is kept.
the only time I can see why you would want to reverse that is if you have pets who like to fuck with toilet paper. if it is reversed then whenever they smack at it it with their claws it will stay rolled.
hopefully that made sense, I suppose I could draw some diagrams to prove this theory but I think you get the point.

I put my toilet roll backwards, it's not a ritual.. it's just how I like it. Putting it backwards is as hygienic as what poster #1 mentioned.. You will be using and unrolling the side without touching any of the other parts.
A better question is, how does one truly wipe their bottom truly? I use water soaks. Lol.

Did the cat unroll the entire thing and roll it back up backwards?

You use more in a pull when it goes over the top. From under you're lifting the roll and having to use more force to unroll it and it stops quicker.
Sounds like a Myth Busters Challenge.
If that isn't enough, 22 years as a Custodian for the USPS his subject came up once, for a month all rolls were put in over shot and the next under. Just over a 5% higher usage with the over shot.

cats in bathrooms is a bad idea no matter what. They might attempt to jump into the toilet or the bath tub, and get hair into the bath tub all over.

So instead of ending up with a pile of paper on the floor, your cat shreds the fucking roll to bits

No "correct" way to put a toilet paper roll on a dispenser. It's all opinion.

What if the side of the roll faces the wall ?

The only incorrect way is not replacing the roll after using the last patch.

A. If it comes over the top you use more TP, 22 years as a custodian I've prove it several times in month long single blind tests.
B. To use even less TP crush the roll so the core is out of round.
