Louis Wain Fact #50:
Cats in Wain’s illustrations are often literate, especially in his school and home drawings. When the titles of books are included and discernible, Mice and How to Eat Them (or alternately, Mice and How to Love Them) and Home Sweet Home are seemingly popular books among catkind.

Wain was an advocate of families taking their pets with them and opposed the apparently then-common notion of letting them fend on their own while their owners were away.
