I know of a home like this; however, they have clear paths through the clutter to the bath, kitchen, and between the sofa and television. A visitor to the home was sitting with the husband on the sofa when a rabbit ran by. The husband threw a boot at it determined to knock out his daughter's pet that had been loose in the home for nearly a year. He missed. Can you just imagine how many rabbit pellets had accumulated throughout that house in a year's time? Yuck.

We had a neighbor with this problem. She filled up the house and barn and then she started to fill up the car. Finally the only place to sit was the driver's seat. There was no place to sit in the house or the pump house or the barn.
When I was in there once, I tried to figure out exactly what was making the cascading avalanche of stuff from the top of the ceiling to the floor where there were small areas in which to step as you got through. The empty spice containers made an impression.
Her daughters came in and began to bag it up and haul it out. But she just hauled it back in. A main ingredient was multiple copies of National Geographic. The bathtub was even full. She was a very talented woman and could look at you and sew a very stylish dress that would fit perfectly, no pattern. But totally unkempt and her toenails grew into her feet...etc etc etc. She died of a heart attack when she was fairly old.
The house is still there and still full. I hear there are hoards of mice .....
