One story has hit my feed via various pages and it\u2019s that of Leonardo Da Pinchy, a rather handsome Siamese cat who resides in New Zealand. Leonardo has become famous for his somewhat unusual hunting trophies; it seems he has a penchant for clothing. In this news article, it\u2019s specified he tends to target \u201cluxurious\u201d materials. <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/v\/16t9XA6HTw\/?mibextid=wwXIfr\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/v\/16t9XA6HTw\/?mibextid=wwXIfr<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the time I studied feline psychology, I learned about \u201cpica,\u201d which is in effect similar to what we\u2019d view as a feline form of OCD.
