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.

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."
