These two sweater-wearing ponies are the official ambassadors for Scotland's 2013 tourism campaign, The Year Of Natural Scotland.

Congratulations for getting through 2012! As a reward, we're presenting you with the inaugural Badge Of The Grinning Lemur.

The plumage in John Pusateri's bird illustrations may look a little like they've been dipped into a craft box, but why shouldn't the more humble species be treated as birds of paradise?

While most cats and dogs seem content playing with a cardboard box and the loose strands of last year's knitting attempts, sometimes it's nice to give them a bit of a treat.

Rejoice, fellow cat lovers, and celebrate your slightly odd-ball obsession for the whiskered kind with these must haves for any lady, kitty-crazed or not.

There are some seriously under-loved animals in the art world. Take the sea otter for an example: possibly one of the most profound, utterly adorable creatures but they're often overshadowed by things that swim with a little more grace, like those god-dammned dolphins.

An awesome bomb just exploded in our brains and it's primarily composed of crocheted double-head llamas, beaded parrot gods and pregnant koala mermaids.

The ultimate in crazy-cat-lady attire: kitty temporary tattoos.

How darling is this print, Pooch In Pucci? Because every pup deserves a little bit of a pamper every now and then, right?

If The Borrowers were pretty nifty with a crochet hook and owned a zoo, this would pretty much be the result.
