These cats look like something between a lemur and a cat, beautiful, but strange. The eyes though, they're incredibly lovely.

Well, Wikipedia says this: "The manul has long been hunted for its fur in relatively large numbers in China, Mongolia and Russia, although international trade in manul pelts has largely ceased since the late 1980s. There are approximately 1,000 hunters of Pallas's cats in Mongolia, with a mean estimated harvest of two cats per year. They are also shot because they can be mistaken for marmots, which are commonly hunted, and trapped incidentally in leghold traps set for wolves and foxes and snares set for marmot and hares. Their fat and organs are used as medicine in Mongolia and Russia, and they are killed by domestic dogs. While Mongolia has not recorded any trophy exports, skin exports have grown since 2000, with 143 reported exported in 2007."

Something about it's face reminds me of my cat... I'm not entirely sure why. But, I love the shot, the colours in it's eyes are gorgeous.
