People ask ‘Why are Pallas’s cats endangered?’ but they aren’t according to the people who are meant to know. It is a slightly surprising conclusion by the IUCN Red List people who’ve listed the Pallas’s cat as Least Concern. This is one step better than Near Threatened (see categories below).

On my estimation and based upon my knowledge of the wild cat species, Pallas’s cat (manual) lives at the highest point above sea level of all the cat species at about 17,000 feet on Mount Everest.

It’s more scientific name is ‘manul’ and it is sometimes referred to as ‘Pallas’s cat’ after the German explorer and naturalist who discovered the animal: Peter Simon Pallas. Pallas’s cat is one …
Pallas’s cat is sometimes referred to as ‘Pallas cat’. The former name is the accurate one together with Manul.
