The wisest cat, the standard of northern solidity and resilience. Happy birthday! Live long, catriarch!

Just over a month ago, luck smiled on manul enthusiasts — in the Altai Mountains, it was possible to document the rarest octolobus.

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!

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.
