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.
