It should be noted that I was just being hyperbolic, and that we had an outhouse at an established campsite that’s built specifically for the purpose of researching these cats! Always remember to leave no trace and never bait/interfere with wildlife!

@rawcaptures.net I don't know if you will see this, but...

You really need to post these on #caturday to really up the response!

Also, truly worth the pain, gorgeous pics

@rawcaptures.net all cats are equal parts majestic and goober. We have much to learn from them 🙏

@rawcaptures.net “just to take a picture of a cat” be fr that’s a manul/Pallas’ cat isn’t it? These are incredible photos. It’s impressive that you managed to catch one out and about.

@RainbowTasteTester @rawcaptures.net

Yes, Manul. Such a beauty!

My favourite is the first. Couldn't see the face at first, then it popped into view!

@rawcaptures.net Cat called Mrs. Fluffy?
Show threadMensch, Marina1d ago
@rawcaptures.net When Mrs. Fluffy got her tongue out, she looks like she discovered you and thinking of checking you out if you are edible. 😋 Yummy photographers on the menu, lasts a month as main course!

@rawcaptures.net Cat: 'Why is there a hooman pooping in holes in my territory?  '
Show threadMariusz Klimczak1d ago
@rawcaptures.net Magnificent creature! I bet he (she?) also pooped in holes at -50C and evidently also wanted the pictures to be taken, so all this makes perfect sense:-)
Ps. Love manuls!

@rawcaptures.net

That first photo is incredibly important. It's helping me to understand my pet #picaTheCat as she has certain wild tendencies and is at time also flat and sinister as you have captured Manul here.

@rawcaptures.net good cat.
Show threadUkeleleEric1d ago
@rawcaptures.net nice pics, but I think you meant 'peeping' rather than 'pooping'. Unless they are attracted by the smell?
Show threadYannick1d ago
@rawcaptures.net that cat is clearly pissed off that somebody has been shitting all over its territory
