Cute Turkish Van Cat
While you might be drawn to the Van for his fascination with water, you'll fall in love with the breed for his other qualities. 'Vans are energetic, agile, and intelligent.
They are extremely healthy and, get along with people swimmingly,' notes one Van owner. You may need a few months of working out to keep up with them, however; Vans are famous for their 'action-packed' temperament. They are talkative, demanding of attention, and show great gusto at dinnertime. Breeders also say that Vans are known for their attachment to their human companions, and sometimes that makes transferring a Van from one household to another difficult. They tend to pick out one or two people in the household, usually the ones that deal with them initially, and bond with them forever.

Adorabloe Japanese Bobtail
Bobs make outstanding companions. They're curious, bold, intelligent, and alert, and easily adjust to new people, situations, and animals, making them easy cats to show. Bobtails are active, but not annoyingly so. Their play is interactive and endearing.
They want to be involved with their human companions and are more than willing to lend a paw when you need it (and even when you don't). Bobtails also enjoy a good conversation; they have chirping voices that produce a wide range of tones, some breeders describe this as 'singing.'

Cute American Curl Cat Personality
Curls have qualities other than the whimsical ears to make them attractive pets. They are people cats that do not show any of the stereotypical aloofness, and are affectionate without harassing people for attention the way some breeds can.
They delight in perching on shoulders and love to pat and nuzzle their peoples' faces. Curls are a 'fetching' breed, easily taught to play fetch, and never lose their love of play. They are also noted for their affinity with children.
While not as active as the Abyssinian, American Curls are playful and energetic. They also display the typical cat curiosity and want to be right there to investigate any changes in their environment.

American Bobtail Cat
While the breed is still developing, breeders say that Bobtails are playful, energetic, and friendly, and possess an uncanny intelligence for Houdini-type escapes from closed rooms and fastened cages.
Very people-oriented, they are not above demanding human attention by meowing or commandeering available laps.
On the cat activity scale (with, perhaps, the Persian as a serene '1' and the Abyssinian as an animated '10'), the Bobtail rates a 7 or 8 ' fun-loving and frisky but not overactive.

Akita hunting dog
This particular breed of dog originated in Japan and was known as the Silent Hunter. They tend to be very quiet, but guarding small children and other small animals are not ideal surroundings for this breed of dog.
Grooming of the coat is needed daily, along with exercise to keep the dog active. Size ranges from 24-28 inches and weigh between 75-120 pounds. While the large stature of the breed may not be suitable for small children, with proper training the dog can be great for any family.

Famous and cuteAirbud
remember that movie poster with that dunking Golden Retriever? Yes, that was Buddy in Airbud, the first film jointly distributed by rivals Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros.
The story revolves around Josh Framm, a new kid in the area who becomes friends with Buddy the dog who apparently knew how to play basketball (and what’s more exciting and heart flipping better than a dog that can play ball and dunk?).
Adorable leopard
The leopard (Panthera pardus) is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in some parts of Africa and tropical Asia, from Siberia, South and West Asia to across most of sub-Saharan Africa.
The leopard /ˈlɛpərd/ is the smallest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Compared to other members of the Felidae, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but is smaller and more slightly built. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguars do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
