google to find out what they were and it appears I won't be seeing them in New England any time soon. Too bad.

but can still rip you to pieces. I hope a rehab facility helped get them back into the wild. I'm not sure their adoptive mamas & the people who found them were up to that task. At least it looked like they were eating a better diet than Kitten Chow.

Just read this:

Pallas' cats appear to be bigger and heavier than they actually are due to their stocky builds and long, dense coats. In reality,
they're about the size of domestic cats: they measure up to 26 inches in body length (with an 8-12 inch tail) and weigh only around
10 pounds.
