Louis Wain Fact #76:
Prince, a black Persian, was seemingly a cherished possession of the Shah of Persia and was taken from the palace by a servant who had been bribed with the sum of £100 by an American lady. The cat was then declared to be lost, before the truth leaked out, and the servant was allegedly beheaded. He was then given to Wain by his American owners for some unknown good deed.
