Today a package arrived with my name on it… and it was another Manul!! Today in class, I was thinking about a package I’d ordered months ago — a small Pallas Plush. I was afraid it was never going to come. As I was walking to my car at the end of the day I decided I should check my emails, and guess what I saw!!

I saw a notification saying a parcel had arrived and had been collected from the post office. I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but I hoped it was my manul plush.

I was able to get my hands on the Manul IKEA plushie yesterday while I was in Canberra!!

I was even able to get my manul a friend!

Have any other Australian manulovers noticed that the ALPTALL collection that contains the manul plush has released later in Australia than other countries?

Fortunately, they will be on shelves by tomorrow but I was upset I wasn’t able to pick one up today while I was in Canberra…

After making my other post in the steppe about this issue, my experiences seeing people using manuls for hate symbols has increased. In under 2 minutes and on one account I was able to find large amounts of hateful content attached to manuls, mainly transphobia and nazism.

As I’ve stated before, this is a platform about fluffy cats and I don’t want to bring politics into it but these people are hurting the image and reputation of the manul.

I have recently seen the manul used as a facist dogwhistle to promote hateful beliefs, primarily against marginalised groups all over the globe.

I know others have seen this happening due to a TikTok video I saw https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSqEJ2wM7/ but I was wondering if any fellow manulovers have seen this…

I’m very excited to announce my manul stuff has arrived!!!! I bought four items which I will show now 👀👀

First to show… 3 keychains

It seems that my manul stuff from Nasu Animal Kingdom is coming sooner than expected, hopefully tomorrow… I am over the moon 🥹🥹

I ordered four Manul products from the Nasu Animal Kingdom online store and they have finally started shipping out to my location, the manul stuff will arrive in 10-20 work days and I will post it on the steppe 👀

I am very excited… hence the post

From what I have seen, these manuls have little to no photographs!! I am happy to have these little minuls with me ♡

I have also started an oil pastel portrait of Grusha, which I cannot work on until later next week 😓

Hello fellow Manulovers, how possible do you think it is that manuls could be introduced to an Australian zoo. This post in not a request but simply what opinions do people have on manuls living in captivity on Australian soil??

There are many places in Australia that wouldn’t be too hot for a manul, and even then advanced cooling systems exist. Also, I’m pretty sure transcaspian/persian manuls do inhabit some warmer places in Iran. The steppes do get considerably warm in summer as well.
