Famous Folks' Felines

David Bowie

1947 - 2016

I haven't added any new installations to my series

lately of famous people who love cats.

Today seemed appropriate upon learning of

David Bowie's passing yesterday.

I wonder if this was Major Tom...cat. :)

or please an audience.  My work is always stronger

when I get very selfish about it."

I loved this picture.

And you might be interested to know that the cat in this opening

Hmm...I think he and I share a fondness for stray cats!
