Louis Wain Fact #67:
At least one person was named after Wain; in 1933 when Louis Wain of Skegness, England was in court charged with an unlicensed motorcycle, the chairman interrupted the proceedings to ask him about cats. To which the defendant claimed the artist was merely his namesake.

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."
