We know you all know Azuki, the little hedgehog from Japan with his perky ears and button nose. Recently, the cute hedgehog, who has more than 430K followers, traded his comfortable dream house for a fully-equipped miniature camping set with a cute tiny tent, kayak, and even a barbecue set. It seems like the little camper had the time of his life. Prepare yourself for a serious cuteness overload.

The bond we have with our pets are so deep, it's difficult to put into words how much we love them and how strong those bonds we've created are.
There is someone who managed to capture that love and bond, in a series of stunning and heartwarming pics.
That photographer is Yasuto. A Japan-based photographer who captured the pure love and deep connection between this woman and her Shiba Inu. The images go beyond love, each snapshot is a work of art.
These images were featured on Yasuto's Twitter page.
Neco Republic is a Japanese company that invests many efforts into animal rescue and especially, in finding forever homes for rescue cats and dogs. The company is always coming up with creative ways to accomplish its mission- opening a cat cafe staffed only by cats with FIV or organizing a special event to unit shy guys with feline companions. Now they've come up with a new brilliant idea of opening up a hotel that allows guests a room with a constant view of cats to adopt. Don't you just love it.

These ducks are dressed better than us!
Butchy and Moko, the elegant pet ducks of Japan, get dressed in Kimonos and head off to the shrine "Naki-Iegamo Jinja" for "Shichigosan".
Duck owners, RyuzoArts clarified in the description, "Shichigosan is the festival for children who are 3, 5 and 7 years-old. We pray their health and growth in shrines." (What about 4 and 6 year old's? Are they excluded from the festivities? Seems odd... punny, no?)
Butchy is dressed in the black Hakama, and Moko in a pink kimono with a ribbon.
Don't they look adorable?
Japan has designed homes specially for felines and of course, we're over the moon in the love.
With features such as built-in litter boxes under the floor, this is litter-ally the purrfect home for you and your felines.

The weather is starting to get quite chilly, so it's time to whip out the futons and snuggle up under blankets!
Just like Maru, the cat, is doing in this video. We take it that it must be really warm and comfy in that futon... any chance we can squeeze in and cuddle with you?

Japanese Twitter user and hamster lover @mamekomu_20's Twitter accountseems to capture the daily cute adventures of their two hamsters, Omame-chan and Komugi-chan. As is often the case, however, it's the unexpected adventures that end up being the most memorable. @mamekomu_20 writes in this popular Tweet that when they were simply goofing around on their phone while charging it, they suddenly sensed that something was amiss, only to look down and realize that Komugi-chan was apparently attempting to practice pull-ups on the cable with an action movie star grip. But there's more. Many more cute videos you should definitely watch.

Apelila, a gorgeous orange tabby from Tokyo, Japan, models beautiful handmade kimonos and yukatas made by her owners, Caroline, a web designer, and her mother, Laura.

As part of the event, passengers traveling between the Ogaki and Ikeno Stations were able to share their commute with a whole bunch of adoptable and adorable kittens who needed homes.
