Did you know that today a genuine scientific study was conducted on the Manulization website? The topic of the study is “On the Use of Forms of Russian Personal Names in the Context of Applied Manulology.” The author of the study is Viktoria Malyshko.
The study was prompted by a question from a Malization participant mnamosyna (rachael).
Today at the Moscow Zoo I had the chance to see a Pallas's cat from an angle that makes identification difficult. I’m turning to the manul community for help identifying the Pallas's cat from the photo.
Today Timosha limited his activities to the porch.
The keepers tidied up, washed the little ladders and stumps, and drew Timosha some fresh water.
I know, I know. Minul season. The little ones are going out on their first walks, the crackle of bursting cuteness meters and the groans of manul lovers at the peak of a hyperfluff crisis. But. Look at that sly little face. Isn’t it true that Gray knows and understands everything about us?
The young handsome manul Gray is missing just 967 of our likes to earn the title of the first “thousander” (a manul that has collected a thousand likes) in the history of Manulomania. It is within our power to make up for this critical shortage of likes! All you need to do is follow any of the links and give one beat of your heart to our precious manul!
On Sun, May 31, 2026, Timofey had a good walk. From more than a hundred shots, I chose the ones with mood. And the one I went to the zoo for (the princely appearance, the last slide).
You won’t believe it, but
Today Timosha was out and about, actively exploring the bushes and hopelessly trying to figure out where the keeper had hidden the food. On unloading day, such searches are unlikely to be successful.
The kitty came up to the glass, looked at the people, and pondered. And what he thought about us, we will never know; nature is merciful.
Timosha grabbed the rat, carried it into the house, came out five minutes later, climbed a tree, climbed down from it, walked around the prince’s manor, and retired to his chambers. Timofey is an experienced manul; the whole thing took no more than 10 minutes.
The magnificent Pallas's cat Sylvester has been working for more than one year now at the Novosibirsk Zoo in the quality control department of the Leopard café. He is responsible for metrology on the grilled meat line (shashlik).
Every morning Sylvester gets up early to make it to his workplace on time, and carefully monitors every technological operation on the grilled meat preparation line. This is a very responsible job — the guests of the Novosibirsk Zoo count on receiving the highest-quality service when visiting what is perhaps the city’s most popular place, and the Leopard café is famous for its hospitality and coziness. Only shashlik of the very best quality can satisfy the expectations of the zoo’s guests. And Sylvester personally bears the full burden of responsibility for quality control of the shashlik in our shady café.
How wonderful that our beloved fluffballs not only delight the eye, but also bring real benefit.

The wisest cat, the standard of northern solidity and resilience. Happy birthday! Live long, catriarch!
P.S. Please forgive us for February. You and Namika were so adorable together that it was impossible not to peek.
Just over a month ago, luck smiled on manul enthusiasts — in the Altai Mountains, it was possible to document the rarest octolobus. The mystery of the Sailyugem manul has still not been solved, but according to insider information, today, May 16, is the birthday of this wonderful, cheerful little furball.
Hooray!

Live long, kitty!
The last Zelenogorskovich, son of Miya, born in 2025, the splendid manul Grey is confidently heading for a record. Only 978 of our likes separate him from the title of the first “thousander” (a manul that has collected a thousand likes) in the history of Manulomania. It is in our power to make up this critical shortfall of likes! All you need to do is follow any of the links and give one beat of your heart to our precious manul!
Today, the oldest known manul, Naim, turns 16.
Well then, here’s to yet another not-the-last one!

STATEMENT
I hereby declare the octolobus manul of Sery, son of the octolobus manul of Zelenogorsk and the octolobus manul of Mia, to be my darling and beloved. For,
Terrible news has come from the Asahiyama Zoo. Unfortunately, human thinking is often more associative than implicative, so the zoo's reputation and, indirectly, the animals housed there, could be damaged.
Pear, we're with you! Keep your tail up and your fur coat... you know better than anyone what to do with it. We're shining our rays of support on you.
P.S. Even if for some incredible reason you don't read this message, we are still with you.
While the rest of the world raced to catch up with fashion, figuring out which was better: whiskey or gin, IPA or stout, rum or tequila—the wise and patient people of the Islands of the Rising Sun returned to their roots and concocted a true sensation. 14 years of aging according to the precepts and recipes of their ancestors. Age-old traditions and nothing superfluous. This is how masterpieces are born.
The body is dense, the aroma is rich, the color is deep. 14 years of aging. The best mead!
Seven times two years to the cotriarch Hani. Live long, hearty furry tuft.
This very day 18 April 2026 we hail the last Zelenogorsk descendant Gray. May he be blessed with true Siberian health, and manul kitties love, and a whole lotta pyrziks†. Live long and stay strong. You are the grumpy fluffy hassock.
† Pyrzik is kinda non-translatable Russian (пырзик) word means baby or toddler.
Give me the phone!
Pallas's cat Akkem, born in Novosibirsk in 2025, also known as Baragoz, son of the Pallas's cat Snezhinka, Novosibirsk, 2022, and presumably the Pallas's cat Achi, Novosibirsk, 2022, gave the following explanation:
