This is a pallas cat. Contrary to what many think, he's not actually all that fat, he's really just exceptionally fluffy. They need that fur to survive frigid temperatures common to their habitat (IIRC, Russia, northern Asia, mountains and steppe). Source: Was obsessed with cats in my youth but I'm confident Google will back me up.
TL;DR: They look chonk but they ain't really chonk. They floff.
Edit: A gold! Chonk you! Also, for all you nonbelievers, google image search. See the floffitude for yourselves! You will not find a single non-floff pallas cat. They also got real bad resting bitch face... dang.
