The internets linked me to this picture, entitled "Have you seen this cat? / Because it is awesome".

Elizabeth and I share this view, and in fact once spent 15 minutes looking at one in a Zoo in Zurich.

From the wikipedia article on the Manul/Pallas' Cat:


This cat has several features that distinguish it from other felines. Most strikingly, it has round pupils. Its legs are short, the rump is rather bulky, and the fur is long and thick. The combination of its stout posture and its thick fur makes it appear especially buxom and plushy.

"Buxom and plushy"? I don't think Kevin Rudd would like to hear you talking about photographs of cats that way Señor Wikipediaño ...

Heh, I think your photo is the cutest.

It does kinda look like a souped up house cat, that has been pissed off.

The particular cat in your photo from Zurich looks like a bear at the end of summer XD
