The Pallas Cat. (At last!)

[borderdawn]

Though you Cat peeps would like to meet her. She is just divine!! The male kept away but she was adorable, Id happily take her home and she kept "talking" to me too, utterly gorgeous, I want 4!

The sign says that the Pallas Cat was used for the creation of the Persian Cat, well Id agree with that, this is my almost 18yr old Persian, "Schnapps" :D

Gorgeous cat! Lucky you to see one, Dawn, our Zoo doesn't have them. I've admired their pic in my Wild Cats of the World book. Schnapps looking good, bless her. Thanks for sharing those.

What a beautiful cat. That coat looks as if it is brushed daily it is so well groomed. (wonder if your hand would be left intact if you tried that??)

Thanks for sharing.

That's an amazing looking animal, quite fearsome but at the same time awesome :shock:

Schnapps on the other hand is beautiful. You have captured a wonderfully expressive face there.

Thanks, pleased you all like her.

She really seemed very friendly, they are "Cat" sized too, no bigger than my Wiggy, just a big thick coat. She came to me to the front when I called her, her name is "Tsara" Yep, Im taken, definitely could manage a few I think. :mrgreen:

Has anyone else noticed it has round pupils - not the shape our domestic cats have! I wondered why it had such a compelling stare.

Absolutely gorgeous, thanks for the pics.

[Kazz]

Thanks so much for those wonderful pictures Dawn. What a beautiful cat - absolutely mesmerising. Must be the eyes, as CM noticed. And Schnapps is stunning too.
