The Art of Manul Photography: The Colors of Autumn

A photo of a Pallas's cat in Moscow zoo
I love autumn. It is not only a season of fading, but also a riot of color and preparation for wintering. Part of the cycle of renewal and rebirth.

In autumn, manuls are especially beautiful. Their movements acquire a calculated economy, their coats turn reddish and grow fluffier, their sides become rounder.

And in the gaze of an autumn manul, we see the familiar autumn melancholy and the deep, tranquil wisdom of a species that has survived several ice ages, most of its contemporaries, and the delighted cries at the zoo.

Like any other manul, Timofey is especially handsome in September. He also takes many active walks, enjoying the autumn freshness. Hurry and see him.
Kitties for everyone!

In the first photo, Timosha looks just like a kitten🥺 Only his gaze gives away his age.
Анастасия, I really loved this pair of shots today. Such a touching one. And two little leaves beside him. Really, this whole post is just to show touching Timoshenka with his little leaves 🤗
