Louis Wain Fact #48:
Despite arguably changing the course of feline history, how Wain obtained Peter is quite unclear. One of his sisters had said that it was a wedding present from them, while his other sister Claire said that it was a gift from his sisters for his 20th birthday. Recent articles suggest he had been taken in by Louis as a stray, the source of this is unknown.

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."
