After this period, Louis studied at the Art School in West London and became a teacher for a short period. At the age of 20, Wain was left to support his mother and sisters after the death of his father.
With reference to your family, the father of Louis Wain had moved to London from Leek, Staffordshire, where he met Julie Felice Boiteux (Anglo-French) who attended the same Roman Catholic Church.

After his father – William Wain's death in 1880 had to support his mother – Julie Wain and five sisters.
To help support his family became a freelance illustrator (initially influenced by Caldecott and May).
He began making a name with a dog and animal drawings show several dogs and Country Shows including the first National Dog British in the Crystal Palace in 1882 (which later became known as Crufts).

She wanted to show the pictures of your cat to some publishers who have made some observations – "Anyone who would like to see a picture of a cat."
The rupture that had been waiting for came in 1886 when Kitty drew several illustrations for a children's book. After this, Sir William Ingram, Holder of the Illustrated London News, commissioned a drawing of a story 'Kitten Christmas Party. I contained 200 cats, took 11 days to complete and agree Wain brought him to fame overnight. "With the success of your funny cat pictures that began to make his reputation here in Britain and America where his humorous cat pictures were seen in the comics, newspapers and magazines. These pictures were so successful that his life would never be the same again. Unfortunately, that was tinged with sadness as his wife died shortly afterwards, but knowing that Louis Wain had become a great success.
In the period between 1880 until the beginning of World War ruled supreme in cat and animal humor especially the "everyone who is recognized Louis Wain cat. Louis Wain cats appeared in Art Prints, Comics, newspapers, books, magazines, postcards and annuals. Wain cats are in every human activity – from playing golf and other sports, digging up roads, playing music, Ascot fashions, Driving cats plus lots more.
In 1886 he joined the staff of The Illustrated London News. It was the first illustrator to work consistently within the convention to represent the dress and live animals.
Contributed to "The Comic store customers from our new fine comic rhymes and Photos "in 1896 and Jingles." Jokes and Humor People "in 1898. 1902 saw the word" Catland " Wain commonly associated with illustrations, and the publication of "Pa Cats, Cats and kittens Ma." His anthropomorphic vision of the world soon brought him fame and as a result was elected President of the British National Cat Club in 1898 and 1911.
In 1904 Louis Wain wrote a book entitled "In the land of animals with Louis Wain 'which was a great success. During 1907 he invested all his savings in a variety of pottery with images on the basis of their cats funny and sent most of them to America. Unfortunately, across the Atlantic, the boat capsized and all Louis Wain ceramics went to the bottom of the sea. Because of this Unfortunately Louis Wain went bankrupt and decided on a temporary move to the United States. He produced cartoons for the New York American (1907-1910) and many others American countries, comics, newspapers and magazines.
After the death of his mother in 1910, returned to England and continued in subsequent years produce books and supply pictures to various comics, newspapers and magazines.
He continued drawing cats for newspapers and fantasy comics about end of the first world war. During this time, in 1917 I was thinking of experimenting in animation and film would be called 'Pussyfoot. Oh, decided not proceeding with this project and that the world lost the chance of a genius comic cat art moving into animation. This year was a turning point in the history of Louis Wain cats. His sister Caroline died and he fell off a bus and hit his head.
After recovering from these setbacks their cats became more frenzied, surreal, jagged and pointy. During 1917 he was also diagnosed as a schizophrenic who, unfortunately, stayed with him for the rest of his life. During the onset of their disease at 57, Wain continued to paint, draw and sketch cats.
In 1924 due to economic climate and the slow recovery GB after WW1 Louis Wain Art became less popular and fell into poverty when his mental health deteriorated and finally his family had declared insane and was committed to a poor neighborhood in Springfield Hospital (formerly of Surrey County Asylum) in Tooting, London on June 16, 1924. In 1925 he was discovered by a visitor to the hospital painting its funny cat pictures. The visitor said that the artist pictures reminded him famous Louis Wain cats. Imagine his surprise when the artist turned to the visitor and said he was indeed Louis Wain. After the visitor told the world of Louis Wain's hospitalization, his admirers started a campaign that included Prime Minister Ramsey Macdonald, HG Wells, George King, who helped establish a foundation that was established to allow Wain to spend the last years of his life in comfort in private asylums including Bethlehem Hospital in a private room where his treatment continued. HG Wells portrays Louis Wain best when he said in a release of 1925, in an attempt to raise funds for the impoverished artist, that three generations had grown up in Louis Wain cats and few nurseries were out of his paintings. He made the cat from his own. He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world. English cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves.
Sometime in late 1920 was sent to Saint James Fields, Southwark where he continued to paint and draw his cats.
In 1930 he was transferred to the Hospital Napsbury near Saint Albans, where he continued to paint and sketch until the end of his days. Exhibitions of his work were held in London in 1931 and 1937. 4. Louis Wain died July Napsbury hospital. He was buried in St. Mary Catholic Cemetery, Harrow Road, London NW10 (next to Kensal Green Cemetery, London) along with burial plots Like his five brothers and parents.
He is probably best remembered by a quote from HG Wells' The cat has made his own. He invented a style cat, a cat society, a whole cat world. English cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves. "
Louis often lectured on the welfare of cats and people should watch the cats, not just of race cats.

The Chinese call Britain ‘The Island of Hero’s’ which I think sums up what we British are all about. We British are inquisitive and competitive and are always looking over the horizon to the next adventure and discovery.
