We're smitten for our furry friends here at grape Japan. How could you not be? When you're stuck at home during the early winter months of an ongoing pandemic, the comfort of cuddling with a cat or dog or other household pet is invaluable. Just huddle up with a furball and forget your problems.

...until your furball creates some of their own.

Indeed, mischief is many-a-canine's—and feline's—forte. Indeed, we've explored the topic in-depth before. Take, for example, this pup who has a knack for "redecorating" while charged with house-sitting. There is also Sen-chan, the Shiba Inu guard dog at Senjuin temple, who quickly reverts to a "guard dog pose" when tired of walking. Finally, in manga form, there is this tale of a mischievous racoon dog's encounter with a self-absorbed club host.

Through thick and thin, however, you have to admit that each of these characters is quite adorable.
