I also did some animating for the Pocket Pals app last semester. The top video shows an idle animation I made for the pine marten, however as it is an idle I needed to decrease the amount of movement otherwise watching the idle on a loop would look strange. Although pine martens are curious little creatures and move quite quickly I couldn't overdo the movement as it was an idle animation. I began with the animal taking a step forwards in the idle but it looked strange so I re-animated it, took the step out and decreased the overall movement of it.
I think it could look good if it looked like the animals were just breathing and moving very slightly with an occasional blink - I might try this on another idle.
