Louis Wain Fact #12:
"Despite the cartoonish violence occasionally featured in his illustrations, Louis Wain took animal abuse very seriously. He partook in numerous animal charities, and Wain wrote on the topic, "Cats should never be struck," and his motto for the National Cat Club was “Beauty Lives by Kindness”.

Dear Miss Hall,
Referring to our conversation today re Mr J Hannon late editor of map, I have just heard from his sister who thinks it wiser to wait till I hear from her again, as the doctor says that a growth is forming at the back of his eyes & this evidently means cataract possibly blindness.
Yours faithfully
Louis Wain
