(via Sneaky Cat Caught on Camera in Himalayas - Yahoo! News)
An elusive thick-furred feline has been caught on camera for the first time in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.
A camera trap captured images of the fluffy Pallas’s cat, also known as the manul, in the country’s sprawling Wangchuck Centennial Park (WCP), which is also home to the snow leopard and Himalayan black bear. Pallas’s cats had never been documented in the region before, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
These pictures look like they must be from the best horror movie ever.

@Haunt1013: @cleolinda Apparently the Pallas cat’s name is Ivanka.

Emily (foresthouse) came to visit me last week, so on Tuesday, I took her to the zoo to see the local Pallas cat (this was her idea, I swear).
[Image description: it’s a glassed-in habitat in the Predator House; the walls are painted a cool blue color. It’s filled with rocky faux-mountains and “fallen” logs and branches. So you’re looking at the Pallas cat grumping with narrowed eyes on a big rock, with his front paws up on a slim branch passing diagonally in front of him. Another branch is passing over his head, because otherwise trying to get a clear picture of him through a sheet of glass would have just been too easy.]
@GreyDuck: “D’awww!” “Stop that, I’m disapproving of you!” “So CUTE!” “Cut that OUT. I DESPISE YOU ALL.” “Squee!” “GAH!”
@cleolinda: That is pretty much exactly what happened.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2xv1qaGG31qah86mo1_500.jpg)

here is a pallas cat to restore sanity
Or possibly the return of Orson Welles.
[Image description: a Pallas cat glares at you head-on, reposing in a deceptively legless kitty-loaf style in a nondescript zooish rock-and-pine-board setting. It’s basically a giant orb of furness with an unamused head in the middle. Let it be noted that you can literally divide the picture of this cat into thirds: left side, head, right side. It is HUGE and it HATES YOU.]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rjkf8mpJ1rr55abo1_500.jpg)

![[Image description: two Pallas cats have apparently tunneled straight through solid reddish rock just so they can glare at you with narrowed yellow eyes of scorn, just crouching there, disdaining you. They are the Statler and Waldorf of Pallas cats.]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lu7wvl19sE1qlt57po1_500.jpg)
