Being born on March 28, 2021 in Ueno Zoological Gardens from the wonderful parents Kylon and Primula, he has managed to carry a huge following. Later, on august 5 2022 he moved to Kobe Animal Kingdom where he currently lives. Nar also has 4 siblings, Minya, Abrikos, Shafran and Figa.

Nar also has 11 children all with the wonderful wife of Az. The kids are Nagi, San, Komorebi, Bono, Haku, Kitten of Az b. 2026 VI, Oto, Teru, Mei, Nagomu and Kitten of Az b. 2024.

Question of the day: Should it be "Pallas's cat" or "Pallas' cat?"

All information about Nar was gathered from the offical page for him on Manulization.

    Beautiful Naru!! And for the question of the day… it really depends on where you live I think. For Americans, I’d assume it’d be “Pallas’s cat”. However, here in Australia, the correct grammar is “Pallas’ cat”! And of course, in other languages it’d be completely different!! Manuls are so diverse ♡

    Hmmm 🤔 most American style guides will say Pallas's, but I usually just use Pallas without any apostrophe at all.  

    (Tangentially related: it's vaguely annoying that people always think I'm saying "palace" cat.  Like, no, they are not kitty royalty.  I mean, they ARE, but in my heart haha!)
