Haha, Ya it is. I can believe you got this shot because of most of your photos but when ever I try to even get a glimpse of a Palla's I always see there tail walking into a thick bush or behind a rock.
It is; I'm proud of these shots all right, even if the cat deserves some credit too! This wouldn't have been possible without him!
I don't have many photos of Pallas' Cats; I have been to almost 140 zoos but I think I have photos of this species from at most two zoos (this one and Prospect Park Zoo in NYC)
Baldur, the only Pallas cat I've seen in the flesh was at Prospect Park, so I've no idea of what size they should be, but do you think the one in New York is really fat or are they meant to be that size?!

I'd like to leave the proper answer to a greater feline expert than I am. However, as an amateur, I'd like to say that, given that cats from the colder parts of the world are often larger and bulkier than those from warmer parts, his size would be not unusual; in colder regions you need thick fur, layers of fat, etc, in order to survive.
