Do all cats have OCD?

Obsessive Cat Disorder that is.
Squirrel cat has little rituals. Every time he walks into the room he goes over to the rug, stands to one side and gives it two scratches.
Every single time.

Yes. WestCountryCat used to have a set route around the front room to get to his bed, even though it was not the most direct route. If his bed was moved, even an inch, he would look at his bed, then look at me, then look at his bed (repeat ad infinitum).

I love the OCD tendency of cats, it's reassuring. I miss WestCountryCat and 'his ways'. Sad

jasper walks in the front door walks exactly 7 steps (ive counted them) and then meows hello there to me, jojo will go from the sofa to the chair to the office chair to the other chair to sit down, she never just jumps off the sofa and walks across the room maybe she thinks she will fall down the cracks if she does, blue always goes out the back door and in the front door never the other way round so yep i would say cats have thier rituals and are ocd
