Pet owner builds tiny ninja house for hamster, escape panels and hidden doors galore With dozens of websites dedicated to videos of their cute antics, there’s no denying that the Japanese love their pets. But when a pet owner also happens to be a rather talented craftsman, you can be sure that when their skills and love for their pet come together, the results will be terrific. Check out this miniature ninja house that YouTuber heibonkinoko made for his pet hamster, which comes complete with hidden doors, fake walls and escape tunnels. It’s positively epic in tiny proportions. “He was a little confused at first,” writes the hamster owner beneath his video, “but once he got his head around how everything worked, he was completely absorbed, running around and around the house for hours.” Designed to look like a traditional Japanese-style house, the detail here is incredible. ▼ Heading upstairs, the little guy knows exactly where to go. ▼ The tatami mats and chabudai table are fantastic touches. ▼ He’s heading towards an ordinary-looking wall, but then… ▼ Ninja vanish!!!

The Top 10 Most Affordable Small Cities, According To CNN Money (PHOTOS) When it comes to city living, it would seem logical that bigger always means better. After all, who wouldn't want a bigger apartment with bigger parks and bigger stomping grounds overall. Well, that would all make sense if these small cities weren't here to prove that theory oh so wrong. According to a report from CNN Money, which compiled the latest data from the Housing Opportunity Index from the National Association of Home Builders and Wells Fargo to determine the percentage of homes sold that are considered affordable at median sales price for median income families in each respective city (see below for more details), these places stand as an argument for living small. So if you're not ready to completely ditch the hustle and bustle of a major metro for the small town suburban experience, it might be time to check out a compromise -- maybe even one where you can actually afford your mortgage.
