probably can, but domestication, as seen with russian foxes, takes decades to perform even on relatively well known animals. problem with manuls is that they are very rare - probably a couple thousand worldwide (at population densities of 1 cat per a square mile tops), so you dont have a stock, so to say, to perform domestication experiment on

they have high mortality rates both in the wild and in captivity, and are poorly studied - i dont think domestication, or even repopulation, of them is ever going to happen :(

e: manul was very popular subject of russian memes circa 2007, the canonical one being

"pet the cat"
"pet the cat, bitch"

There's a Pallas Cat at my local zoo. Two of them, actually, but they despise one another, so they only ever have one on display at a time.

Anyway, one of the zookeepers sad that they're rather mean and solitary. Lovely animal, but good luck ever domesticating one.

Authoritarian morons think tough looking = martial prowess. Also a severe misunderstanding of how modern democratic governments work.

It matters alot how much of a mean face your bureaucrat can make. If it's very mean, your soldiers will fight better and it works wonders for logistics. Also, all your trucks and tanks will run faster.
