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

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
