Malaysian artist Kamwei Fong, otherwise known as Bo & Friends, has gained over 56 000 followers on Instagram posting his intricate (and fun!) illustrations of fluffy black cats.

The detailed drawings, featuring the character he calls The Furry Thing, are created with black ink and channel Kamwei’s mantra to “Be happy. Be Childlike. Be Ridiculous.” He also draws monkeys, dogs and bunnies, as well as goldfish (which he calls Bo).
