Bone Bone

Bone Bone is a giant, extraordinarily fluffy cat from Thailand who became an internet phenomenon after photographs of his cloud-like coat began circulating in 2017. Though he looks almost impossibly large, much of his bulk is his dense, voluminous fur, which makes him appear roughly the size of a small dog — a look so striking that strangers reportedly stop his owner to ask for photos. Bone Bone's Instagram, where he is shown lounging in sinks, riding in a little yellow backpack, and sitting patiently on walks in a harness, quickly drew hundreds of thousands of followers charmed by the contrast between his enormous, majestic appearance and his gentle, laid-back demeanour. He has become one of the most recognisable cats to come out of Thailand and a favourite example of the "fluffiest cats in the world" genre that regularly goes viral. Beyond the novelty of his size, Bone Bone is a reminder of how a single unusually photogenic pet, in the age of social media, can win an affectionate global audience simply by being himself.
