Louis Wain (1860-1939) was famous for his art of cats as people. His facial expressions were SO human and yet SO cat. This CAT-TAILS BY LOUIS WAIN COLORING BOOK is a compilation by collector-researcher Loraine Burdick who was blown away by his art and has collected for years. (Art and real cats.) Here are 44 pages of Wain\'s picture stories of sporting cats racing dogs, golf, ballooning, boxing, plus story illustrations from 1890\'s for children, dealing with sneaky dogs, and just living their cat lives. There are 4 of his cat paper dolls, a baby contest, the cat opera with stage and audience and orchestra, outdoor Christmas market, Halloween party, and a series of Cat-Tales from 1910 newspaper comics in the U.S. This will enchant cat lovers and children but also cause some thoughtful tears as much of the time Wain was locked up in a home for the mentally ill but with his cat Peter for companion. Designs can be used to color or make posters, greeting cards, or even create quilt blocks but it also reminds of the debt of respect we owe those who have mental illness.
