Standing upright, saucers balanced in their paws, mid-conversation in a red drawing room hung with pictures — and every one of them wearing an expression you have definitely seen on a real cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is Louis Wain (1860–1939), the artist who did more than anyone to change how Britain felt about cats. Before him they were working animals that lived in the scullery; after him they were characters, personalities, members of the household. His anthropomorphic cats appeared everywhere from Christmas annuals to postcards in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, and H.G. Wells remarked that Wain had invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world. He was president of the National Cat Club, and he drew cats being far more sociable than most cats actually are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 48 × 162mm with a navy ribbon marker, it lies flat in any book.
