May our dear birthday catboy have good health and many long years, the coziest hammocks, the favor of fluffy manuladies, and double meats!

Terrible news has come from the Asahiyama Zoo. Unfortunately, human thinking is often more associative than implicative, so the zoo's reputation and, indirectly, the animals housed there, could be damaged.

Pear, we're with you! Keep your tail up and your fur coat... you know better than anyone what to do with it. We're shining our rays of support on you.

P.S. Even if for some incredible reason you don't read this message, we are still with you.

If Baby Shu were to be a pastry, what would his recipe be? I will make the most liked comment's recipe and make a post about it.

More info: I will try to post as many things about Baby Shu until he gets into the top three most liked manuls. Yes this is a promotion for Baby Shu.

Meeting a manul for the first time in my life

Dear Manulization community! 
This is my first post on this site, and I want to share a very happy moment with you. Yesterday, I got to meet a Pallas cat for the first time in my life! 🥰😺
I got to see Lucy at Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden. Her companion, Bohus, was hiding, and the zoo workers said he rarely comes out. Lucy was however quite active, and very cute!! 😍😻
I feel grateful that I got to see this cutie and I hope to meet more manuls in the future 😊

P.S. I'm actually not 100% sure if it was Lucy or Bohus, but to me it seems like Lucy. Does anyone know better?
