Louis Wain Fact #56:
In Wain’s nineteen eight annual, there’s an illustration of “That Cat Again!” This is a playful and self-aware reference to this particular jaunty, almost drunken cat, versions of which has been redrawn and republished year after year and seems to be a personal favourite of Wain’s

Tragedy, Tabby, is not for you;
Comedy suits you down to the ground.
Better to purr like a merry crew
Than all cry "Mew!" with a dismal sound.
Up spake Grimalkin and he said "Nay!
Both cats and men have different views.
If I were allowed to choose the play,
Then I would vote for the Tragic mews."
