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.

An article in The Independant is one of the earliest published mentions of this piece, and cites that this artwork lies in the collection of Bethlem Royal Hospital

Bethlem also dates this artwork to around c. 1928, which would make sense as that was around when he stayed at the hospital.. So as charming as the often-repeated tale of this being his 'last artwork' is, it is likely false. The more likely story is it was a response to the fundraiser held to get him into the hospital. It may have been the last the public had seen of Wain in his lifetime, as Wain had continued to paint and draw privately into the 1930s and throughout his time at Napsbury, including the famed kaleidoscopic cats.
