 This is a short article in which I decided to compile a list of mentions of Pallas's cats in various media! It includes anime, TV series, films, comics, and other works that mention Pallas's cats.

Anime/TV series:

• Bananya (Bananya Around The World) — Season 3, Episode 12

A Pallas's cat watches the protagonist and sincerely wants to befriend him.

• Aggretsuko — Manumaru

A colleague of the protagonist from the sales department

• Manul No Yuube / An Evening at the Pallas's Cat — a short anime. A supplement to the main documentary program, “Darwin's come/Darwin's Amazing Animals,” on NHK (Japanese television). An episode of this series airs at the end of the main program and lasts about 50 seconds.

Synopsis: Manuko-mama and her assistant, the cicada Tsunomin, run a restaurant called “Pallas's Cat Kitchen,” where various animal guests drop by. Manuko and Tsunomin listen to them talk, and then the episode ends.

Unfortunately, I still haven't found the other episodes. If you have other episodes of this series, please mention them in the comments!

Darwin's come/Darwin's Amazing Animals: https://youtu.be/GtsCeef7H7M?si=kg9nKdVhilEtXASK   /   https://youtu.be/wxggzKqd4_E?si=2LLNmmSdkIEwu-dA — short trailers for a documentary about 40 species of felines, in which the voice actors for Manuko-mama and Tsunomin serve as guides.

Tsunomin and Manuko!

• Here Comes The Snow King / The Snow King Arrives — a Chinese donghua with 12 episodes, each 9 minutes long. The Pallas's cat Boss Tu is the series' second protagonist. Tu dreams of earning money to revive his own restaurant. After meeting the Snow King, he sets off on a journey with him.

•   MaruMaru Manul — a short comedy anime about the everyday life of the carefree Manul-kun, an orange tabby cat named Chatora-kun, Sukofu-kun, and other cats.

I think it is lost media, since I have not found any episodes apart from the promotional video https://youtu.be/sKR3voQ0l2k?feature=shared and the theme song https://youtu.be/znrmSX6BwEI?si=KvBPwgE_9_TmWq_0.

The title is listed on some websites, but they either contain already known information about it or simply have a non-functioning player.

It is known that broadcasting began in January 2020 on the Japanese TV channels BS Nippon Television, Asahi Broadcasting Corporation, and TOKYO MX.

• By the Pike's Command (2023) — a fantasy film from Russian cinema, an adaptation of the fairy tale of the same name. The character Cat Bayun is portrayed as a Pallas's cat.

so funny!

Games:

• kemono friends — Manumaru / Manul-kun. Appears in the games Kemono Friends Festival, Kemono Friends Pavilion, and the mobile RPG Kemono Friends 3. Kemono Friends also has an anime adaptation, but unfortunately she did not appear in it.

Unfortunately, she is practically a tertiary character, so there is very little content featuring her.

• Planet Zoo — a sandbox simulation game, but Pallas's cats are paid DLC there.

• Honor of Kings — a skin for the character Zhang Fei. 

A skin obtained through the gacha system.

• Ultra Mega Cats — Clint. A playable character from a third-person shooter. 

To be honest, he does not really look like a Pallas's cat. But an interesting fact: he was based on Arthur from RDR2 and was also voiced by Roger Clark, who gave Arthur his voice.

• Wildcraft — a weak, aggressive mob found in the Chinese Forest location

• Moses & Plato — Last Train to Clawville — a visual novel on Steam. The plot follows two detectives investigating a mysterious murder. The main characters are a Pallas's cat and a Tibetan fox.

• Pallas's cat in a Forgotten world — an indie RPG whose plot revolves around surviving the ruins no matter what. The game is still in beta and is available on itch: https://thatonefolkovei.itch.io/the-manul

• Cat Fantasy — Yiliana (Elena/Evelina). A Chinese strategic gacha RPG.

Manga/comics/stories:

• Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori (just one panel(?)) — Chapter 116

Very few chapters of this manga have been translated, and the manga itself is paid.

• Manul no Yuube (short comics) — Manul no Yuube also has short comics: https://www.darwin-zoo.jp/character/ / https://x.com/search?q=%E3%83%9E%E3%83%8C%EF%BD%9E%E3%83%AB%E3%81%AE%E3%82%86%E3%81%86%E3%81%B9&src=typed_query

• Why Is the Pallas's Cat Angry? (author: Elena Feldman) — a small children's book in verse with illustrations by Anna Kovalkina. It tells of a boy named Petya who cannot fall asleep, wondering: Why does the Pallas's cat always look displeased? Throughout the book, he comes up with guesses.

• The Adventures of a Minul Named Graf — a children's book for a charitable foundation. Created with the participation of the Sayano-Shushensky Nature Reserve and published for the “Help the Pallas's Cat” foundation. https://planeta.ru/campaigns/topmanul
