Louis Wain Fact #75:
During mealtimes in the Wain household, Peter allegedly sat patiently with his forepaws resting on the edge of the table until all had finished, then gave three mews before being fed. He also sometimes allowed himself to be adorned with paper spectacles, and could sit on his haunches with a piece of paper in his paws, a funny scene that no doubt inspired some of Wain's early anthropomorphic drawings.

SHOP-BOY: "Since we had this notice in the shop-window 'Old Boots polished up to look like new,' they keeps coming in all day long. I wish this 'ere Cherry Blossom Boot Polish had never been invented."
OLD CAT: "Ah, my lad, don't you wish you could invent some-thing half as useful?"
