More mob animations

Since foxes were added to the game I thought that all the other mobs were lacking something like different animations. Foxes can pounce sleep and sit I think other animals should be able to sleep or do different things

    All passive and "animal" mobs should sleep(like the fox curling up) or at least have their eyes close. They wake up if you sprint or jump near them. They should also have a resting model(like a ocelot sitting for instance). They do this when there are no players around.

    Yes!! I have been thinking this for a while. Maybe you can make your cat/dog lay down. Maybe at night all mobs can sleep and when you walk near them they wake up unless your crouching. Maybe when you get near a cow that has a baby it will attack you just like polar bears. Same for horses. Or maybe when you get near any mob it will run from you like foxes. Such as sheep,wolf,chicken,cows,horses,etc.

    With all the new mobs having unique animations and behaiours and even more complex models the older mobs could do with a facelift.

    I've mentioned it in another post, but I think adding sleeping animations for all mobs is a good start (why are they all awake and wandering around at midnight anyways?). You could also tie sleeping into the gameplay - maybe it could affect cooldowns for resources like milk or wool?

    Pigs could roll in or lie down on the new mud blocks perhaps? Dogs could chase their tails?
