One cat leading to 300-the genetic damage!!

I'm not a psychologist by any means, but I have a fascination with something called "obsessive-compulsion disorder". In its non-pathological form I'm convinced it makes good accountants and analytical chemists. In extreme form it results in bizarre behavior, like hand washing, fear of germs, etc. Collecting may be one version of this. There are meds to treat OCD and they may help cat hoarders.

Just a thought.

Rescue groups have to be careful; sometimes a foster mom/dad will go overboard and start keeping everybody.
