Paignton Zoo in Devon, England, has discovered that their big cats respond favorably to certain aromas. Indu, the female lion (pictured above) loves her peppermint-scented pillow and often carries it around and sleeps with it, while Misha, the tapir, enjoys having her back rubbed with soothing almond oil.
 
The zoo is also performing aromatherapy trials with monkeys, and found that the monkeys respond best to citrus and fruity smells.
 
8. Taking the dog for a stroll?

England's Louise Harris has spent over $160,000 in three years on her three Yorkshire terriers. Harris treats the dogs to weekly massages and grooming sessions and dresses them in outfits and collars bejeweled with Swarovski crystals, emeralds, and rubies. The dogs sleep in their own four-poster bed and receive thousands of dollars in Christmas presents each year.
