The Pallas Cat: Meet the Manul, the Most Unimpressed Cat

Utterly unimpressed, with a flat, judgmental stare.

The real animal

The Pallas's cat, also called the manul, is a small wild cat of the cold grasslands and rocky steppes of Central Asia, from Iran to Mongolia and the Tibetan Plateau. It is about the size of a house cat but looks much bigger, because it has some of the longest and densest fur of any cat, which keeps it alive through freezing winters.

Its ears sit low on the sides of its wide, flat head, and unlike most small cats it has round pupils. Together they give the manul the expression that made it an internet favorite: a flat, deeply unimpressed stare.

In the RaccoonVerse

The Pallas Cat brings that stare everywhere. It is the introvert of the crew: while the phone rings, it and the Raccoon ignore it together and agree on exactly one thing, no visitors.

A Pallas cat shirt is for anyone who would also like everyone to leave.
