The front of TinManic's pants are so tubby not because of fat, but as a display feature to show everyone that he's got a thing for that cute zookeeper over there.
If I was these cat's keeper I'd be covered in scratches and everybody would be like "you tried to pick up the pallas cats and shnuggle them and make googly sounds at them for being so cute didn't you?" and I'd be all like "I dont know what you're talking about." The next day I'd have even more scratches. Every consecutive day I would be more and more injured and pale from loss of blood.
It is man's destiny to try and snuggle felines that look like domesticated cats. Bomb defuser's outfit and a dart gun loaded with thorazine - keep reaching for the dream!
