If you haven't heard of the Pallas' cat yet, get ready to have your mind blown. Because this cat… might be the most "cat" of all cats. Pallas' cats are the fluffiest, the chonkiest, and they have a perpetually grumpy face of the kind and caliber that rivals even grumpy cat herself (RIP you amazing icon). Pallas' cats look intense no matter what they're doing. Whether it's Pallas' cats playfighting in the snow, whether it's Pallas' cats flirting during mating season, whether it's Pallas' cats getting excited at feeding time… no matter what they do, they always look intense and grumpy about it.

And if you think that this applies only to adult Pallas' cats, well… today's viral Twitter thread is about to prove you wrong. Tiny, freshly born Pallas' cat babies are already fluffy, chonky, and hella friggin' grumpy. Seriously, you are not ready for this level of cuteness.

Although we have seen Pallas' cat kittens before in videos and pictures, still, this little baby took us by surprise. He is so adorable and derpy and silly-looking that, for a moment, we weren't even sure if it was real. But it is. This thing exists, and goodness, we desperately want to pet one.

Seriously, the privilege that this man has to be able to witness this derpy thing come into existence… We can't blame the interwebs for making this kitty go viral on multiple different platforms. In fact, we think we ourselves might constitute 50% of the views on these tweets.
