Pallas cats are one of my favourite animals. I've had the luck of seeing a very vocal and grumpy one in person.
They also have a very unique low meow, which also sounds like they're constantly pissed off:

There's an April 2016 BuzzFeed video [1m30s] with facts about this cat. You might want to mute it (electronic music overlay).

Awesome. Looks like something out of a Studio Ghibli film. Wonder if the round pupils mean it is less of a night hunter

Hunted for their pelts. Don't buy real fur coats.
If you are ever near Fargo, ND, the Red River Zoo[1] has 3 that you can come see in person! :-)

2 years ago I found out about sand cats (google them, the ears are amazing). But these Pallas cats are positively prehistoric looking!
Cats can see infrared
Not really.[0]
I didn't know this off the top of my head or anything, the cats' eyes in the video reflecting the IR back at the camera prompted my searching for the answer.
