Hoarders, Cats & OCD

I was talking to a friend of mine Matt the other day and he knows about my love for cats and how I believe they are tools of Satan and come from the depths of hell.  [For those of you who just stopped reading come back tomorrow because I will be back to a blog post that will benefit you more on a spiritual/leadership level.]  For those of you still reading, have you ever seen the show Hoarders on A&E?  There is a common theme that Matt brought to my attention on the show.  Have you guessed what it is?  You’ve got it all of the people on the show have cats.  Now I am not making any assumptions.  I am not trying to make any statements.  I am simply stating an observation that was brought to my attention.  I have a slight case of OCD where things have to be put back in place before I can start.  My office has to be clean before I can start working.  It’s something I deal with.  I go into stores and fix the shelves just because it’s out of place.  When you add in my OCD and my hate for cats then you can see the parallel that if you don’t want to be a pack rat then don’t have cats.  I’m not saying that cats cause this problem.  I’m not saying that cats drive their owners to the point of insanity that they can’t handle the basics of cleaning a house.  Or that they drive their owners to such fear that they hold on to everything in fear that they will throw out the cat with the trash and garbage out of fear of not knowing the difference.  So the next time you walk into a house that is packed and trash, ask them if you can see their cat.

Sorry if any of you are offended by this post.  It is meant to be funny for all of us who are not cat lovers.
