Louis Wain Fact #75:
During mealtimes in the Wain household, Peter allegedly sat patiently with his forepaws resting on the edge of the table until all had finished, then gave three mews before being fed. He also sometimes allowed himself to be adorned with paper spectacles, and could sit on his haunches with a piece of paper in his paws, a funny scene that no doubt inspired some of Wain's early anthropomorphic drawings.

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.
