Louis Wain Fact #69:
Wain accumulated a collection of over 300 china, glass, metal and wooden cats, sent to him from admirers in all parts of the world, including a Chinese cat allegedly over 2,000 years old. While these were exhibited by his sisters a few times after his death, the current fate of this collection is unknown.

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?"
