I agree with that in most hoarder situations it has to do with mental illness and the lack of care.
I have 4 indoor dogs, 3 indoor cats, (all spayed/neutered) 1 indoor rabbit, 7 hermit crabs and 2 small turtles..and all are very well taken care of.. My house is spot less and I spend alot of my time keeping it clean because of the amount of animal we have. Anyone who has walked in my house has said, wow you have alot of animals but you wouldnt know it. I have been in friends houses who only own one cat or a dog and the house smells like wet dog or a nasty cat box. I dont consider my self a hoarder but I am at my limit.
