Office decor - how much is too much?

Everyone's got their own sense of style and decorating. At what point does it become invasive?

We've got someone here at work who loves cats. I mean LOVES them. She has no children, so instead of photos of them, she's got pics of her kitties... and kitty dolls, and kitty sculptures, and kitty stuffed animals, and kitty this and kitty that. At current estimate, I'd say she's probably got 60 items of this sort. Up until a few days ago, she just had a simple desk and has about 20 items that filled it up. She now has a larger desk in an office she shares with someone else and her kitties have been breeding. It's like walking into a junk store where they only sell cat stuff. It's freakin' everywhere.

I'm glad I don't share an office with her because as much as I love cats, it's just tacky.

At what point does it cross the line?

What about your office? Is it full of Disney items? Or dozens of family photos?

And how to rein her in without hurting her feelings?
