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!

You won’t believe it, but

Timofey came out

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.

Timofey came out

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!

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!
