Louis Wain Fact #73:
At the office of the Illustrated London News Almanack, Wain left a drawing (Cat's Concert) In the foreground was an aggressive white kitten, with mouth wide open and ears back. leaning against a wall. The office cat hissed at and disliked the artwork, and when left unattended, attacked and reduced the kitten to pieces on the floor, leaving the rest of the piece intact.

Wain was an advocate of families taking their pets with them and opposed the apparently then-common notion of letting them fend on their own while their owners were away.
