Louis Wain Fact #66:
"Wain was well-acquainted with British royalty, often being commissioned to do drawings of the pets belonging to Duchesses (such as Mary Russell, Duchess of Bedford), Princesses (such as Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein [her cat ""Nobat"" pictured]), and even the Queen Alexandria."

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.
