The Pallas's cat, also known as the manul, is a small wild cat with long and dense light grey fur. Its rounded ears are set low on the sides of the head. Pallas' cats, while adorable to look at, should not be kept as pets. Not only is it difficult for them to survive at low altitudes, but they are truly wild animals. Only an estimated 15,000 remain in the wild, although these numbers are hard to verify due to the Pallas's cat's elusive nature.

Despite being smol and chonky, Pallas's cats tend to be aggressive, like some larger wildcats. These kittens will growl even before they are able to open their eyes. Pallas's cats are poor runners due to their compact bodies. We can relate! Ain't nothin; wrong with being compact. We are not short, we are fun-sized. Get with the program, folks. Now, let's celebrate International Pallas's Cat Day the very best way we know-how, with lots of gooood tweets.

So much CHONK. We are living for the stubby adorable nature of these sweet felines. Too bad they can't be kept as pets, we'd love to cuddle up!
