Louis Wain Fact #50:
Cats in Wain’s illustrations are often literate, especially in his school and home drawings. When the titles of books are included and discernible, Mice and How to Eat Them (or alternately, Mice and How to Love Them) and Home Sweet Home are seemingly popular books among catkind.

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?"
