Just realized something about Marigold.
When we first met Momo-tan, Pintsize mentioned that her owner "just moved in".
Her room has boxes of Pocky that are 10 years old.
She MOVED her vintage Pocky.
There's something more than laziness going on with her.
akronnick:
The ten year estimate for the age of the pocky may have been a bit of hyperbole.
Then again, Hannelore may have counted the rings in the fungus that was growing on the pocky, you know, just for the hell of it.

Yep. My guess is compulsive hoarding.
I have a hoarder friend who has moved 3 times over the last several years, and has boxes of mixed junk from the first move that haven't been opened since the day they were "packed". What's in them? It's a mystery! But they just can't go through them and get rid of anything because they can't bear to part with their junk.
no one special:

It's not an alliteration, it's an assonance. </pedantic>

"Alliteration may also include the use of different consonants with similar properties (labials, dentals, etc.) or even the unwritten glottal stop that precedes virtually every word-initial vowel in the English language, as in the phrase "Apt alliteration's artful aid" (despite the unique pronunciation of the "a" in each word).
</pedantic too, sorry>

My solution to the problem of moving junk... my car is a Mazda Miata (MX-5 for those in Europe.) For those unaware, this is a 2-seater convertible with a small trunk.
I may have to do a cross country move on VERY short notice. In the Miata.
There's no room to move junk in a Miata.
