Louis Wain Fact #73:
At the office of the Illustrated London News Almanack, Wain left a drawing (Cat's Concert) In the foreground was an aggressive white kitten, with mouth wide open and ears back. leaning against a wall. The office cat hissed at and disliked the artwork, and when left unattended, attacked and reduced the kitten to pieces on the floor, leaving the rest of the piece intact.

And the branches are rustling a murmurous rune,
The Owls sit in council, like prophets of Fate,
Discussing grave questions of Kingdom and State.
They wink and they blink, and they blink and they wink,
Till midnight grows black and commands them to flit
With a “Shoo! To-whoo!” and a “Whirr! Tu-whit!”
