Louis Wain Fact #71:
While the book ‘Peter, Cat’o’One Tail’ is somewhat fictionalised and sensationalised, some of its seemingly unlikely details actually have their root in truth. Peter sometimes played dead, went missing for a short time, and actually put his paws together in a prayer-like position, sometimes even mewing.

SHOP-BOY: "Since we had this notice in the shop-window 'Old Boots polished up to look like new,' they keeps coming in all day long. I wish this 'ere Cherry Blossom Boot Polish had never been invented."
OLD CAT: "Ah, my lad, don't you wish you could invent some-thing half as useful?"
