Rabbit
Rabbit is the friendly but irritable rabbit in the Winnie the Pooh series. He believes he is the smartest animal in the Hundred Acre Wood, always insists on doing things his way, and is obsessed with rules, planning and order. He often loses his temper to others and bosses them around, but deep down, he cares plenty about his friends. In the Walt Disney films, he takes immense pride in his garden and hates when someone or something messes it up. Evidently, Rabbit can be diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) since he is intensely preoccupied with cleaning, planning, organizing, and maintaining order. In most episodes and movie scenes involving Rabbit, he is seen tending to his already clean home and protecting his garden from those who may damage it. If anyone or anything tries to steal his vegetables or damages his garden, Rabbit get very upset. In fact, Rabbit keeps each of his vegetables symmetrical in his garden, which is a tell-tale symptom of OCD. In addition to wanting to be organized and practical, Rabbit's tendency to take charge is inflated to the extent that he becomes a control freak who insists on doing things exactly right, in his way and in the proper order. He also has a short temper and can act mean or callous to others, although not intentionally. Symptoms of OCD that Rabbit exhibits are fear of contamination or dirt, keeping things orderly and symmetrical, and constantly washing and/or cleaning. Rabbit's OCD causes him to be very uptight and sometimes, rude to his friends. In his quest to maintain order, keep his property clean, and assure his plans are conducted, Rabbit portrays signs of that he is suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
