I read this and wondered - how do they diagnose mice with obsessive-compulsive disorder?

I chuckled when I read that, too. It does describe the obsessive/compulsive behaviors of the mice further into that post, but my first take made me laugh.

They had nothing better to do with the money.

IFwczs Evidently there's a normal amount of grooming, and then OCD grooming, or nest shredding, or marble burying. But for anyone who feels as if s/he has lost marbles, now we can blame OCD mice!

I read that article and I told my husband that I can now blame my OCD on MS! (He laughed...) ;-)
