Louis Wain Fact #57:
As Wain’s reputation as the Victorian “cat person” grew, he started to become inundated with stray cats and unwanted kittens placed into his care. He apparently had “so many cats that their kittens left the house and took up residence in the garden, becoming quite wild and snarling and spitting at visitors who walked up the path.”

We are pouter pigeons - can't you hear us coo?
Fleet of wing are we. Tu whit, tu whit, tu whoo!
We can carry messages through the cloudy skies,
But we fear you like us best when made into pies.
