I find it hard to believe one of those crazies lives no more than a few blocks away, let alone the worst one I've ever seen.

Anyone else think I should wait for that chick over at the Goodwill she loves to shop at so I can beat her senseless for neglecting those cats so badly???

let the cats take care of it themselves

My mom said I'd be a hoarder when I grow up, when looking at the box in my closet, but that box had been in our house even as we moved for a while and it stuffed animals in stuff in there that mom actually put in there or something. I know for sure that was accepted though. There was school stuff on top of it if she meant that and I threw that away because I realized I didn't need it...

She'd be more justified if she said that before when I was smaller and she had to clean our room ( i used to share a room) with a garbage bag and we weren't allowed in because if we were I'd take something out...had a hard time throwing stuff away back then and then my mother just started doing it. It didnt completely fill up our whole room, it was hidden mostly.

Don't beat her...she's got an issue. You should just throw away all of her extra things and sure she will probably be sad or something but she might even get over it and realize how awesomely organized her house is and she will be busy not-neglecting the cats and the hoarding will go away eventually after being sealed from tht for a while..this might be a nice solution kinda like how when those people send their eating disorder kids away to that...whatever, they make them eat (healthy though) and they cant throw it up. Maybe sooner or later the ED will just go away after being forced like that, lol.

Plain and simple, something is missing that stuff can't replace. Everyone tries to fill the void with something, and sometimes that something takes over the house
