• In a litter, the manul usually gives birth to 3–4 kittens, sometimes up to 8, and in some cases even up to 10 kittens. The average litter size varies in different regions.

The Pallas's cat inhabits and develops on land, outside of water bodies, and reproduction occurs through live birth, when offspring are born alive on land, not hatched from eggs or larvae; the development of the embryo lasts 2 months 2 weeks, and the female gives birth to from 2 to 6 kittens once a year in a secluded den or crevice where the nest is hidden in an underground burrow. Only the mother exhibits parental care for the offspring, and the litter size ranges from 2 to 6 kittens; sexual maturity occurs in males and females at the age of from 1 to 2 years, and the reproductive interval is 1 year, with reproduction always occurring with homogamy and fertilization, without a change of generations.
