The Pallas’s cat (Otocolobus manul), also known as the manul, is a small wild cat with long and dense light grey fur, and rounded ears set low on the sides of the head. Its head-and-body length ranges from 46 to 65 cm (18 to 26 in) with a 21 to 31 cm (8.3 to 12.2 in) long bushy tail. It is well camouflaged and adapted to the cold continental climate in its native range, which receives little rainfall and experiences a wide range of temperatures.
My theory is that the picture of a Manul familiar from encyclopedias etc. are actually all the same cat—not Pallas’ cat, but Pallas’s cat. Took it home with him from one of his many expeditions.

I think this might be the reason I’m grumpy all the time now, too.
