"A need to acquire things, inability to throw things away and lack of organization skills are three elements of inanimate-object hoarding. But a smaller and more frequently reported sector of hoarding deals with the accumulation of large numbers of animals."
"Degrees of hoarding range from clutter to squalor and can pose fire and health risks, said Randy O. Frost, a professor of psychology at Smith College."
"'We've had people in our study who have been quite wealthy and who have hoarded very expensive objects, all the way to people who scavenge on the street for free things.' Frost said."

*hides*
I've got a hoarding problem, but every now and them I *am* able to part with things. Really.
And if I ever get to the point where I'm as bad as this lady, I hope I have enough good friends to do an intervention or something.
