Louis Wain Fact #64:
Although Wain’s role in the rise of the household cat as a pet is quite well-known, he was also a supporter of keeping mice as pets, a practice which today is still considered quite odd. In 1899 he wrote an article called “The Mouse Club” on the subject, praising them as “desirable pets.” A lot of the information seems to come from the British Mouse Club which was associated with the cat club Wain was president of; it is unknown if he had any mice himself.
