Louis Wain Fact #40:
Among Wain’s many passing interests was apparently gemstone collecting. A 1902 an article in Conshocton Daily Age appeared. Sadly, the interest was short lived, as a ”bad bargain” in gems made him realise that he needed to put his artwork first.

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."
