This is legendary footage. I remember seeing a documentary about this clip, the camera was stationed in the Himalayas intended to capture footage of snow leopards and this was a total surprise for the researchers who never thought Manul cats ranged that far or high up.
The way it trots over and then peeks up from below the camera is perfect, what an amazing cat
The way the cat slowly creeps up onto the camera and then slowly descends back is probably the most funniest thing I have ever seen.
I was not expecting this to be as hilarious as it actually was. That cat has epic comedy timing.
