Louis Wain Fact #12:
"Despite the cartoonish violence occasionally featured in his illustrations, Louis Wain took animal abuse very seriously. He partook in numerous animal charities, and Wain wrote on the topic, "Cats should never be struck," and his motto for the National Cat Club was “Beauty Lives by Kindness”.
