With an eye of blue and one of green, Bowie the cat is a handsome lad. His fair coat is patched russet and black on his face, throat, and legs. Black and grey stripes ring his tail. His photos are addictive, thanks to such a striking appearance. He’s simply living art with his dramatic features and over 32,000 Instagram users agree.

Bowie the cat hails from Alicante, Spain. In 2018, Maria Lloret adopted the striped and white cat from a veterinarian’s office in Spain. On Bowie’s website, she wrote, “With those eyes his name could not have been other than Bowie.”

Like his namesake, Bowie is a man of adventure, experiencing new places and sensations. Here, Bowie visits the sea for the first time.

But unlike his rockstar namesake, Bowie the cat’s eyes are dual colored because of a genetic twist called heterochromia. David Bowie’s eyes only appeared dual-colored. An article on The Conversation reports the departed icon suffered an eye injury during a dust-up with a friend in his younger years. The fight was over a girl and, while the heartbreak didn’t last forever, the eye injury did. His eye was left permanently dilated, making it appear a different shade than the other. The condition is called anisocoria.

While Bowie is a scrappy cat, he still loves to make people smile. Maria feels, “In a world as ours the best smile is the one caused by the innocence of a cat.”
