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.

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."
