Forget Cat Island- Rabbit Island in Okunoskima, Japan is the latest tourist destination that animal lovers are swarming to. The island is overrun with adorable wild rabbits who hop about the forests, streets and love tourists because tourists tend to mean meal times. The island has a dark history being the HQ for Japan's chemical weapon manufacturers, so if you're not into bunnies, then check out the Gas Museum on the island. But really, how could anyone resist these little fur balls?!

As dog owners, I'm sure we can all relate to at least one of these dog shames. The beauty of a dog shaming is that you shame your pooch out of love, and share the frustration that drives you to tears of laughter about what your pooch has just done. And also to hopefully find a fellow sufferer. Have you ever dog shamed? If so tell us about it below!

We all think our fur kids are the most precious, talented cutest things on Earth but some pets have that extra spark, that... shall we call it X-Factor! Didga the tabby is one of these star quality cats. He is known in the Malibu area as the top cat at all skateboard parks because he knows how to shred!  Does your pet have any hidden talents?

Have you ever spent your hard earned money on your cat's brand-new toy only to find him or her kicking it to a corner and playing with the box it came in? If you're a cat owner, that question really doesn't need to be answered-of course you have!   But fear not- there is method to your kitty's madness! Science explains why exactly it is that cats love small boxes whether they be shoe boxes, cardboard boxes, plastic toy boxes or even small spaces in your favorite closet. It is part of a cat's instinctual behaviour to look for confined spaces just like they would in the wild. These small dark spaces allow them to hide from predators or stalk their prey. This instinctual behaviour is not exclusive to domestic pets, wild cats like lions, tigers, leopards and cheetahs love boxes too. We just rarely see them out in the wild playing in giant cardboard boxes.           "Cats like boxes because they are cryptic animals; they like to hide," Stephen Zawistowski, science adviser for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told to Business Insider. "And a box gives them a place of safety and security." Boxes are also the perfect place to cosy up and take a nice and comfortable nap without anyone sneaking up on them and disrupting their sleep. They are also darker and cooler so they may take refuge in them on hot days. However you may notice that on cold days they also curl up in boxes, the reason for this is because the boxes not only provide them with a safe and secure place to rest and recharge but they are also little insulators to keep them warm on colder days. The reason why they choose boxes WAY too small for their bodies also known as the 'if I fits, I sits' theory is based around a cats curiousity. In their minds, a box is a box, so they just see it a bit of a challenge to see if they can fit into the box. Surprisingly they often do!

Cue the 'awww'. How adorable and relatable is this video? Most parents would have experienced the sharing of toys and food between babies and their pets. The love our pets have for our children is unbreakable, from when they're tiny babies, our dogs will serve as protectors and our cats will always make sure they're happy and healthy. So here's to our pets, for being our furry parent aids.

It's easy to find differences between each other but at the end of the day aren't we just a bunch of cells functioning, in need of love and friendship?  This unlikely pair managed to find a lifelong friendship despite being predator and prey, so shouldn't we too be able to put aside our differences and find common ground and just enjoy each other's company?  We should definitely be taking a lesson out of this pair's book.

Yoga is a wonderful way to release tension and centre yourself. However, it appears our pets feel there are better ways to wash away any stress and tension and that involves them letting you get into your yoga pose and them finding a way to tickle you, kiss you or just use you as a comfy resting spot. After all the giggles and kisses, you decide, do you feel any better? Less stressed about the world? We think they're onto something. Perhaps that's where the name downward dog came from...

The story of Christian the lion and his two human companions truly shows how deep and powerful the relationship between an animal and their humans can be. In 1969, John Rendall and Ace Berg raised Christian from a cub as a pet in their apartment. While some might think it's cruel to keep a lion in an apartment, the love for Christian was always paramount, shown by their desire to get him back into the wild. Which they successfully succeeded in doing... Two years after being released, the men returned to Africa to reunite with their big cat. The most astonishing thing was that Christian remembered them! It is a truly touching video and one that all animal lovers can relate to.
