Louis Wain Fact #63:
While superstitions about cats were still quite common in the Victorian era, Wain’s own eccentric beliefs were purely his own. As a matter of fact, he rejected many of the beliefs commonly held by the public. In a 1901 interview with Great Thoughts he says “No, I do not think that because a cat washes her face it will necessarily be a fine day on the morrow. I think they do that merely to complete an electrical circuit.”
