Pallas cat

Saw this picture of the Pallas Cat, a wild cat living in Asia, also known as Manul. It's about the size of a house cat, but the ears are placed lower, and strikingly, the pupils are round.

It reminded me of Greebo, Nanny Ogg's cat in the Discworld series. Then again, he's described like this: "To Nanny Ogg he was merely a larger version of the little fluffy kitten he had once been. To everyone else he was a scarred ball of inventive malignancy" so he probably looks more like this one
