Louis Wain Fact #78:
The status of Wain’s animation career is largely contested. It is commonly spread that nothing had come from these attempts, however there is much evidence to suggest the contrary. We have accounts of those who’d worked on it, those who had seen it, and an advertisement that shows “The Golfing Cat” was number 8 of Gaumont’s third set of interest films, and it’s 340 ft of film was released on October 8th, 1917

Tragedy, Tabby, is not for you;
Comedy suits you down to the ground.
Better to purr like a merry crew
Than all cry "Mew!" with a dismal sound.
Up spake Grimalkin and he said "Nay!
Both cats and men have different views.
If I were allowed to choose the play,
Then I would vote for the Tragic mews."
