It's exhausting being a bunny. Their rabbity obligations may call them to the mischief-making of Peter Rabbit, the meticulous work of the Easter bunny, or just the lying-around-looking-adorable of so many of their short-tail brethren—but all, eventually, require their 40 winks. And a good yawn precedes this. Yes, Virginia, bunnies yawn. If you've never glimpsed the fleshy, pink inside of a rabbit's mouth, hop up now and peer inside this photo gallery. There, opening their maws wide with fatigue (or boredom?) are little Thumpers of every hue—and a few that bear a striking resemblance to the killer rabbit from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." They yowl at the moon, they expose their fearsome little mouths, they flash those long white incisors, they sit back on their pom-pom tails. And then, if all is well in the world, they lie down for a long afternoon's rest.

Cats and dogs are so passé. For the apartment-dweller with limited space, the perfect pet is a cuddly hedgehog. And we have Numo here to prove it. Although he appears a trifle prickly, this little guy exudes a huggable aura. And according to his blogger-human, he purrs. Follow Numo as he competes in the Hedgehog Olympics, takes a bath, wears a paper-towel tube on his head like a partygoer with a lampshade, snoozes, or just slurps water. When you're done, we bet you'll be considering fitting a mobile pincushion into your hectic life. If your pad isn't hedgehogable, consider Numo your virtual buddy.

Love the Super Bowl, or think it's all fluff? For Super Bowl Sunday, Animal Planet has jacked up the aw! factor and guaranteed that nothing on television will be as fluffy as their very own Puppy Bowl II. But you don't need to rush to the television to catch the tackles, fumbles, and just-darn-cuteness. Their Puppy Bowl site features a party-planning guide for the big day, athlete pics, and the opportunity to vote for Most Valuable Player. We can't stop watching the gridiron action in the video clips, complete with instant replays and water-bowl cam. For cat fanciers, there's even a halftime clip of kittens playing with sparkly toys and hunting laser-pen light dots. You won't be able to watch an old-style touchdown celebration again without imagining wiggly pups hurtling across the end zone.
