• In captivity, manuls usually live up to 12 years, but there is a case where a manul lived 18 years. In the wild, their lifespan usually does not exceed 6 years.
• Manuls reach adult size by 6–8 months and sexual maturity by 9–10 months. By 9–10 months, they can reproduce during their first season, when they become independent.

Pallas's cats have a typical lifespan ranging from 11 to 19 years and 11 months, with a maximum recorded lifespan of 18 years, although their theoretical lifespan is between 7 years and 16 years 3 months. The species reaches sexual maturity between 9 months and 1 week and 1 year 3 months. Eyes open between 1 and 2 weeks of age, and the young begin to walk between 2 weeks and 4 days and 4 weeks. During the "Embryo" stage, the fetus develops inside the mother. The "Kitten" stage sees the birth of a kitten with closed eyes; the mother feeds it milk and provides warmth for a period of from 1 day to 1 month and 2 weeks. Following this, the “Adult” stage begins, lasting from 1 to 12 years, during which the adult manul hunts and lives independently.
