‘Grumpy’ Pallas’ kittens on display at Japan zoo

Kobe Animal Kingdom has unveiled five young Pallas' cat kittens, already gaining attention for their characteristically sullen expressions. Dubbed the world's grumpiest felines, the four males and one female were born at the facility in May and recently went on public display. These cats are believed to be one of the oldest living cat species and originate from the arid, rocky regions of Central Asia.

The zoo highlighted that Pallas' cats are not frequently exhibited due to their sensitivity to infections. In a statement to AFP on July 27, the Kobe zoo shared that the kittens, which weighed around 150 grams at birth, have now surpassed one kilogram and are beginning to consume solid foods such as chicken and horse meat.

"We hope people would come and see how healthy they are, playing wholeheartedly and sleeping soundly like kids," the zoo stated, inviting the public to witness the kittens' well-being and lively behavior.
