Louis Wain Fact #20:
Sometimes, Wain held competitions through his annual, in which children from all over England were invited to submit to him essays about felines. A boy and a girl were each chosen as a winner and had their works published with permission. The prize? £5. It may not seem like much, but that is the equivalent to about £786 in 2023.

Tragedy, Tabby, is not for you;
Comedy suits you down to the ground.
Better to purr like a merry crew
Than all cry "Mew!" with a dismal sound.
Up spake Grimalkin and he said "Nay!
Both cats and men have different views.
If I were allowed to choose the play,
Then I would vote for the Tragic mews."
