No cat should be "chubby". Cats become overweight from either overfeeding or feeding low-quality food that is full of fillers like grain or cereal.

However, cats come in many shapes and sizes. Some cats are heavily-built and do naturally have bulk on them, but this is usually muscle. Long-haired cats look bigger than they are due to the long, thick fur.

A cat with a healthy weight should have a definable waist, looking from the top down. One should be able to feel the cat's ribs over a layer of fat (if you cannot feel the cat's ribs, it might be overweight). If you are worried about your cat's weight, take it to a vet who can weigh and assess its overall health.
