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.

And as, of course, the less the great,
Whate'er their station, imitate,
The Ping Pong craze, as time extended,
Unto the kitchen-floor descended.
