If you're cold, they're probably not cold because they're pallas' cats. They were built for the snow and have adopted the most awwdorable habit to survive in freezing temperatures.

In general, cats are not built for the cold. They like warm things, like space heaters, blankets, and body heat from their hoomans. If you live in a place where it snows and you've tried to let your cat investigate the snow, most of them will take one tiny step and then immediately retreat back inside. And we relate to that. We're not cold-weather people. Give us a beach and a cloudless day over a snowy winter with frigid temperatures any day.

But there is one cat that actually enjoys the snow, and that cat is none other than the furbulously floofy pallas' cat. These fearless floofballs can stand the cold because they have ultra-dense fur coats with twice the thickness of a normal cat's coat. They also have small, rounded ears that prevent heat loss, as opposed to your average house cat with cutesy triangle ears.

That's not even the best part though. Pallas' cats will stand on their fluffy tails to keep their purrfect paws warm in wet snow. It's quite pawssibly the cutest thing we've ever seen, and believe us, we've seen a lot of cute things here at the I Can Has Cheezburger offices.

If you're needing some inspawration to brave the bitter winter cold outside, look no further than these meowrvelous manuls, AKA pallas' cats. May the floof be with you!

In the photo above, you can see the pallas' cat standing on its tail to keep itself warmer while standing in the snow. You can also see its enormous yawn (or scream, probably because just like you, it's tired of winter and ready for some spring sunshine), but that's a whole different listicle. Notice its very round and purrfectly floofy shape. Very circular. Pawsitively friend-shaped.

If you do encounter a pallas' cat in the wild, do not approach it. As cute and friend-shaped as they are, they are wild animals and should be treated as such. Do not be charmed by their derpy expressions and floofy bellies, as hard as it may be. You must resist.
