Dancing in the Indoor Garden

Bowie with Watering Cans

Barbara Ellis of Eastern Shore Gardener shared these photos and wrote: "This is David Bowie, Bowie for short, doing his best watering can impression. His garden is indoors and consists of loads of houseplants plus a large watering can collection."   

   "Bowie, along with his brother and sister, was turned into the local animal shelter as a baby feral kitten. They were already well-socialized when a friend passed the litter of still-tiny kittens on to me so she could take on another unsocialized litter. (Bowie got me started fostering, and I have since fostered nearly 40 kittens for the shelter.) Bowie’s brother and sister went to other forever homes, but he stayed with us. He and his slightly older brother, Mick Jagger (also originally a feral kitten), are 2 1/2 now. They patrol their indoor garden to keep it free of stink bugs and random leaves. Their names were inspired by the Mick Jagger and David Bowie video, “Dancing in the Street.”

Mick didn’t want to be left out, because he is just as handsome as his brother.
