Louis Wain Fact #37:
In 1917, Wain was invited by filmmaker H.F. Wood to make a series of cartoons. However, after the production of short films The Golfing Cat and The Hunter and the Dog, he left the partnership and never produced in the medium again, apparently because his style did not lend itself to animation.

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.
