How could you POSSIBLY not love cats!

"failed to profit from them" is an interesting term

There's a pretty good movie with Benedict Cumberbatch as Louis Wain too!

sadnesslover5000 :

this just isn't true though. Louis was painting psychedelic cats way before the hospital and it wasn't like a progression of him going from drawing just cute regular cats, to just trippy cats. silly narrative

Pop Mart Villie :

It’s a lovely story, but the last part is not true.

juno coolatta :

this is wrong 💔💔

Nina :

i loved the biopic with Benedict Cumberbatch playing Louis Wain. the film was so sad tho :(

Eatbonbons :

For anyone who doesn’t believe in the power of marketing… it’s ALL marketing

my KING

Jon Snow the Cat :

That had a depressing turn.

Phoenix Pierce :

we don't actually know the timeline of when he drew which pictures, the psychedelic on s could have happened at the same time or before his other cat drawings

LadyKeke :

there's like a whole movie about it starring Benjamin Cumberbatch

Amy C :

He inspired me to paint cats and I’m proud to say I’ve been painting cats for a year now
