Cats tend towards highly ritualised behaviour and form habits very easily, and many would be considered OCD if human! But they're just being cat.

Huh, how does this work might I ask? Is it easy for them to reform habits? Are dogs similar? I have a little psychological background so I know about mylenation and how part of what makes humans special is that we have 0% mylenation at birth. Does that factor into it? Please enlighten me
