A new TV show debuted this week called Confessions: Animal Hoarding on Animal Planet. [warning: the link loads with a loud commercial].  We’ve seen TV shows about hoarding.  This one specializes in people who hoard pets.  You know, the Cat Lady with 50+ cats.  It raises the bar on scary, dirty, filthy, unhealthy, cruelness to animals, creepiness, etc.

But when selling, it’s time for them to pick up their toys and stuff.  Right?  You can’t just use the excuse, “Well, they’re kids” can you?

It runs in the family.

Messy houses are featured on A&E TV’s “Hoarders” show.  Photos of dirty houses are seen on websites like this one.  But to truly appreciate the splendor of these homes, you have to experience them in person by sight, smell, touch, and aftertaste.  I had the pleasure of visiting this Phoenix home on Sunday after being told of it by its neighbor.

Warning:  The photos shown here might be upsetting to some viewers.  We will ease you in slowly to the dirt, dust, & filth.  You have been warned.  Just be glad you can’t smell it.

When someone hangs flystrips in a bedroom, you know there’s a problem.

The house has a heavy smell of cats.  Lots of them probably.  According to the neighbor, the landscaping was completely overgrown; the front & back yards have since been scraped down to dirt.  The house inside has been cleared out, but you can imagine it was packed to the gills.  Spider webs are found in every room of the house as you can see here.

People live in filth for physical, mental, emotional, and/or financial reasons.  This is the master bathroom.  Can you imagine using this bathroom?  Ick.

See the yellow wall to the right of the sink in the above photo?  This is what that wall looks like.  The place was so disgusting that they removed the cabinet.  Rats nested in the bathroom cabinet and peed & pooped on the wall.  Sorry…you were warned.

Hold your breath and walk over to the kitchen’s breakfast area.  This is where you’d enjoy a cup of coffee?

The kitchen cabinets were removed because they were so disgusting.  The dark dots are empty cockroach egg sacs.

Aren’t cockroaches fun?

Rat poop in the stove burner trays.  Lots of it.  Gag.

The cat pee smell, the spider webs, the roaches, the rat poop, and filth gave me the heebie jeebies.  I went home and took a shower.

In the next post, we’ll look at the damage from neglect.

Someone in Virginia sure likes to save everything.

Thanks to one of our readers, we’re all blessed with an abundance of photos of a messy home in Buckeye, Arizona.

Let’s say your house is foreclosed and the sheriff comes to the door or say you are being evicted and only have 10 minutes or an hour to move out.  Would you pack up a suitcase and some boxes and just leave?  Or do you spend that time throwing your stuff all over the rooms?  It makes you think they actually lived like this 24/7.

Where’s the furniture?  If they took the furniture, wouldn’t there be bare spots with no junk?

The living room with dirty walls and dirty carpet.

Looking back the other direction.

The photographer tells us he saw three vacuum cleaners in the house; two are in the kitchen.

Next we look at the hallway, bedrooms, and bathroom of this extremely messy Buckeye, Arizona home.

Follow the red curtain to…

More bedroom madness.

When does it stop?

The crib doesn’t look very secure.

Messy bathroom.

We conclude our tour of this messy Buckeye, Arizona home with the back yard, the garage, and the laundry room.

The mess in the back yard did not occur overnight.  This took weeks and months.

They left a motorcycle.

The garage.

More junk in the garage.

The laundry room.  Think the clothes are clean?

Messy Dickinson, Texas home.  Five mattresses in this room.

Why is a ladder in the bedroom?  Why is there a bathroom vanity light in the bedroom?  Notice the phone book.

More phone books in the living room.  Ugly couch.

The kitchen with hardly any counter space.

At least things are piled up in the bedroom.

Bacliff, Texas is located northwest of Galveston.  Wow, what a cluttered home.  Did a hurricane hit it?  So messy.  And check out the wood paneling above.

This just proves that art is in the eye of the beholder.  No comment other than it should be put on the ground next to the garbage bag.
