		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Really really funny! and I have OCD.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My housemates gave me a great fridge magnet,&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I will not obsess!&lt;br /&gt;
I will not obsess!&lt;br /&gt;
I will not obsess!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;High functioning, but it does take some time every day.  I  take some meds for OCD/depression, not too many (OCD functions as an &quot;anxiety binder&quot;, and I&#039;m relatively OK with using it as an anxiety binder; not sure what would replace it if I got rid of the OCD).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I teach and do cat rescue, TNR (trap neuter return).  I&#039;ve really honestly been in some store looking at this kind of cubbie thing, and thought how much the rescue cats would love it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since I do and teach cat taming as part of TNR, I think they&#039;ve sorted themselves by how socialized they are.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gesine&lt;br /&gt;
please give them pets from us!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

&lt;p&gt;Rikki Tikki Tavvy is one of my heroes. I love the &quot;Just So&#039; stories!  Go read the &quot;Just So&quot; stories to someone you love, today!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;My daughter has OCD, severe enough that she has been hospitalized in the past. I laughed at this one instantly, as did she, because it is such a combination of absurdities! The joke is multi-layered. That&#039;s what makes it so funny to everyone. Even OCD&#039;ers know that organizing cats is nigh on to impossible! By the same token, looking at this picture through my daughter&#039;s eyes, the cats should be organized by size or color! Hey, I suffer from chronic migraine headaches, but the Pokemon Psy-duck (who attacks using his headaches!) is on my key chain. We laugh or else we will only cry.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By the way, for those who do not know, OCD is a disorder that takes a variety of forms. It can wax and wane according to stress factors, and the degree of disability varies from person to person. It is frequently passed from one generation to another. My father is a hoarder. My daughter has chronic fears and gets into thought &quot;loops&quot;. Not everyone is like Monk. Neither my father nor my daughter are obsessively neat. It is an anxiety disorder, not a personality disorder. People with OCD suffer from intense fears that are manifest in odd behaviors such as washing, organizing, counting, hoarding, or just constant worrying. Everyone has rituals that they use to comfort themselves, but OCD rituals start interfering with one&#039;s life. That is the difference between being picky, or eccentric, and needing extra help. I don&#039;t know how I got left out of the genetic lottery, but it skipped me and my brothers. Still, living with OCD, whether it is you or a loved one, is an interesting adventure. Having a sense of humor just makes the adventure more fun.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>
