I sent that pic to Brother once, so they could see what a $$$$ cat bed looks like.

I have known 3 people who are horders to this extreme..One was my Great Aunt and 2 are parents to my oldest daughter's friend..The bug/mouse/rat infestation was and is still terrible..it was and is unhealthy..I use to work in a rescue/fire ems field and things happen all the time..Fire's, injuries and such..When hording is the extreme to the point that there is only a path way to walk during a fire, the person who is in the house usually can not get out and rescue workers can not get in or if they get in, to find the person is almost impossible..They have many obstacles blocking their paths to help..

I was thinking of what this lady (not sure if it was male or female writing) will have to do when Mom dies or is suddenly carried away to a nursing home. It will take ages to go through all this stuff. Some of it will probably be valuable, so it can't just be tossed.

Ok, now I am off to CLEAN. I have a neighbor who is like this , there is just a little path to get from room to room. I don't go over there unless I just have too. But her and her husband don't see the mess or smell. They have 5 cats and 3 litter boxes one in the bathroom, one in their bedroom and one in the laundry room. All will get cleaned about every 2 weeks. They are the sweetest people you ever want to meet, but live like this and don't seem to care.

The commentary on those pictures really tends towards the wry and sarcastic and even funny.

WOW!!!! That woman needs some serious help!!
That is such a fire hazard!!!
I am not a neat freak by any means, and my garage is pretty bad too, but there comes a point where this is extremely unhealty and dangerous!!
