We must protect the floof!

Pallas's cats (aka manuls) have been granted protection area in Sailyugemsky Nature Park. This calls for floofy manul kittens pouncing to a crime-sleazy lounge soundtrack.

I am strongly opposed to exotic animals being bought as "pets" but I make an exception in the case of Pallas cats and in fact believe they should be compulsory.

One must not put a pile of sand on the stage if no one is thinking of pooping in it.

I have trouble watching Pallas cats; the ear anatomy reads as "I'm a pissed off kitty".

I will always click on a pallas cat videos, if only for the irresistible mental image of wrapping both arms tightly around said cat. I imagine that holding a pallas cat in both arms would immediately undo all trauma, anxiety and neuroses I have ever experienced.

This is the best thing to appear on Metafilter today and I heartily approve of it.
More use of the Flooftober tag, I say!

We put this video on the TV last night to feel better about things, and one of our cats jumped up on the coffee table and started actually watching it intently.
It's the first time he's watched TV since he lost interest in tennis two years ago.

I think they could provide for a very cozy Three Cat Night. They look glorious, and I love their ears. I can see the folks now, gearing up for "must have" mode. You would have to buy an all gray wardrobe, and have housekeepers in twice a week, to sport these beauties.

Yeah I saw the pic in the article where the lady was poking her head in the cave and my first thought was scratches to the face.
