Louis Wain Fact #57:
As Wain’s reputation as the Victorian “cat person” grew, he started to become inundated with stray cats and unwanted kittens placed into his care. He apparently had “so many cats that their kittens left the house and took up residence in the garden, becoming quite wild and snarling and spitting at visitors who walked up the path.”

And as, of course, the less the great,
Whate'er their station, imitate,
The Ping Pong craze, as time extended,
Unto the kitchen-floor descended.
