With reference to his family he had 5 younger sisters and his father worked as a textile salesman and his mother designed Church fabrics and carpets.

Louis Wain studied and trained at The West London School of Art ( 1877- 1880 ) and remained as an assistant teacher until he left in 1882. The strange thing about Louis Wain was he could draw with his left hand but he signed his pictures with his right hand.

After his Father's death in 1880 he had to support his mother and five younger sisters and soon after, his sick wife Emily Richardson ( His youngest sister's governess ) whom he had married in 1881. Shortly after he married her she contracted Breast cancer. He brought Emily a Kitten which they called Peter and to entertain her he started drawing Peter in humorous situations and poses. To help to support his family he became a freelance artist (initially influenced by Caldecott and May) and in 1882 he joined the staff of The illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. He began to make his name with Dog drawings at various Dog Shows including the early British National Dog show at Crystal Palace in 1882 ( which later became known as Crufts ). During this time his wife encouraged him to send some of the humorous cat pictures of Peter to various Magazines and Newspapers which started to make his reputation here in Britain and in America and where his humorous cat pictures were seen in Comics, newspapers and magazines.

In 1884 he was commissioned to produce his Funny Sports Pictures edition of the illustrated London news. These pictures were so successful that his life would never be the same again. Alas, this was tinged with sadness as his wife died shortly afterwards, but knowing that Louis Wain had become a great success.

In the period from 1880's up to the start of the first world war he ruled supreme in cat and animal humor especially the 'Louis Wain Cat' which was recognized worldwide. The Louis Wain cats appeared in Art Prints, Comics, Newspapers, Books, Magazines, Post Cards and Annuals. The Wain cats are to be found 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. He was the first illustrator to work consistently within the convention of depicting clothed and standing animals. His anthropomorphic vision of the world soon brought him fame and as a result he was elected President of the British National Cat Club in 1891.

In 1904 Louis Wain wrote a book entitled 'In Animal land with Louis Wain' which was a great success. During 1907 he invested all his savings into various Ceramic's with pictures based on his Funny Sports Pictures and sent most of them to America. Alas, while crossing the Atlantic the ship capsized and all Louis Wain ceramics went to the bottom of the sea. Due to this misfortune Louis Wain went bankrupt and decided to a temporary move to the United States. He produced strip cartoons for the New York American ( 1907-1910 ) and many other American comics, newspapers and magazines.

In 1910 he returned to England and over the next few years he continued to produce books and supply pictures to various comics, newspapers and magazines.

He continued drawing fanciful cats for various newspapers and comics near the end of the first world war. During this time in 1917 he was thinking of experimenting in animation and the film was to be called 'Pussyfoot'. Alas, he decided not to pursue this project and so the world lost the chance of a genius of comic cat art moving into animation. This year was a turning point in the history of Louis Wain's cats. His sister Caroline died and he fell off an Omnibus and hit his head.

After he recovered from these set backs his cats became more frenzied, surreal, jagged and pointy. During 1917 he was also diagnosed as a schizophrenic which alas, stayed with him for the rest of his life. During the onset of his disease at 57, Wain continued to Paint, Draw and Sketch cats.

In 1924 due to the economic climate and the slow recovery of GB after WW1 Louis Wain Art became less popular and he fell into poverty when his mental health deteriorated and finally his family had him certified Insane and he was committed to a pauper ward at Springfield Hospital ( Previously Surrey County Asylum ) at Tooting, London. During 1925 he was discovered by a visitor to the hospital painting his funny cat pictures. The visitor exclaimed that the artist pictures reminded him of Louis Wain's famous cats. Imagine his surprise when the Artist turned to the visitor and exclaimed he was indeed Louis Wain. After the visitor told the world of Louis Wain's hospitalization, his admirers started a campaign which included prime minister Ramsey Macdonald, HG Wells and King George who helped set up a foundation which was set up to enable Wain to spend the last few years of his life in comfort in private asylums including Bethlehem Hospital in a private room where his treatment continued. Some time in the late 1920's he was sent to Saint James Fields, Southwark where he continued to paint and draw his cats. In 1930 he was transferred to Napsbury Hospital 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. On 4th. July Louis Wain died at Napsbury hospital. He is buried at Saint Mary's Catholic Cemetery, Harrow Road, London NW10 ( next to Kensal Green Cemetery, London ) in the same burial plot as his 5 sisters and parents.

One of the great joys of having a pet is the laughter that they bring to us. Whether we are laughing at them or with them they never hold a grudge. It seems they are almost always trying to entertain us. What pet owner doesn't have a picture of their beloved friend in some crazy situation or pose, stuck on their refrigerator door? And what better way to save those precious moments than with a great photo?

I photograph pets professionally, intentionally trying to create humorous images...but often it is the in-between moments that end up with those priceless expressions. Those un-expected antics...that bring an involuntary smile to me and have me showing everyone around the back of my camera saying "Hey! Check this one out...what a crack-up!".

Right now I live with two cats...one of them just can't resist any box. Put a box down and a moment later, out of nowhere...Pitsy is in the box! It doesn't matter what size box either...I have seen her in boxes that she can barely fit in...that she can't even get all of her paws down in...but hey...if it's a box then she's going to claim it!

Our other cat, Plucky, has his favorite place to be...on the lap of any one using a computer (luckily I am writing this at work or it would be much slower going and by the end I would be covered in cat fur)! No computer...he isn't interested...but sit down in front of a computer anywhere in the house...and you instantly have one very large feline purring contentedly between you and that keyboard. Every pet is an endless source of amusement, fun and laughter!

I would like to share some of the finest Funny Animal Pictures...

If there' s one type of entertainment I love it' s Funny Animal Pictures. Animals are just a reminder of the good things in life. They are cute, funny and intelligent with no knowledge of our sense of humour at all. The only thing they seem care about is if we love and accept them. I wonder if they find us as funny as we do them. Even just the facial expressions... their faces speak volumes despite the fact that most are covered in fur and atop with ears. It is wonderful to be able to capture these hilarious moments on video.

Just to reminisce on the Funny Animal Pictures we were watching the other night. There was a 'clip' on a ferret bringing in a newspaper. This was the ferrets' daily chore. But the rolled up newspaper was tightly compacted and to be frank, was larger than the ferret. Nevertheless, he continued with great spirit to achieve his task. He dragged the paper (with difficulty) along the garden path and then had to bring it up the three steps leading to the front door. Since the paper was longer than his body and quite stiff he managed to get it onto the first step. But once on the step, the unforgiving lack of flexibility of the rolled paper allowed no room to go forwards and upwards, without the 'jolly' log lagging with weight, slipping from the side of his mouth.

His thought process required only a couple of seconds.

"If I climbed onto the second step and drag this darn paper up beside me..." he figured.

He proceeded to do so. It worked! It was brazenly apparent in his jovial body language that he was secretly pleased with himself. He came to a quick conclusion that the same would work again, and simply repeated the next move. And now it was a simple matter to get it through the front door. No problem!

The next one was a teenage cat that was determined to 'sew' some' wild oats' and attempted a daring crawl onto a thin branch of a dangerously high tree. As he stepped forward and onto the middle of the branch, of course it' s flexibility caused the fluffy teenager to wobble and fall, after which he clawed and grasped frantically to save himself. He turned and looked terrifyingly towards the camera, with a combination of a stare to a questioning grimace saying

"Ok... I' m ok... I' m ok. I can manage no problem... " to "... ahem... I' m dying here. I' m down to the last of my three lives" And with that the owner reached out and help him down from the one and a half metre high branch.

The next one, my favourite, was two furry bears in an animal park, enjoying their spacious enclosure. One of the bears was up on a rocky ledge, only about a metre high from the ground. The bear was absorbed in investigating something interesting in a leafy bush, 'snuffelling' about. Just at that moment the other bear, on the ground, perambulated towards the bear on the higher level, and gave a 'tickley' sniff at the unsuspecting bears rear. I suspect that bears' whiskers are pretty prickly. Nevertheless, the bear atop of the ledge gave a start, spun on his heel and gave the bear that delivered the tickle, a huge clout across the ear.

How did that ferret figure the logistics of getting the newspaper up those steps? And after the success of it to show such joy at the achievement. And the cat... such expression in his eyes. His face spoke a thousand words... but all at the same time. And the offended bear... the body language was enough. The clout was the final delivery. I just love it all. I suppose this is why I enjoy my pet blog so much. I have certainly enjoyed putting it together.

I have several Funny Animal Pictures in my collection and I enjoy them so much that although I' ve watched them several times, I still find them amusing. I' ve collected some of the funniest puppy pictures on my blog, such as 'Pup on a Bike' and 'Pumpkin Pup'... a small puppy in a pumpkin, peeping out. You' ve got to see them. They' re so hilarious and cute, it' ll bring tears to your eyes.
