Here's an excerpt:
Separately it is necessary to tell about the "cat's Pope" - L. Wayne. The heroes of his paintings - it is primarily people-cat, the wonderful world of humanized animals. Children with a cat, sometimes unruly in school. Cats-teachers educate them and above them laugh the most unruly students. All figures Wayne - the world game and a joke. He has a dandy with champagne and cigars that are ready to idle doing nothing, and cats in bowler hats, exchanging the latest gossip socialites. Since 1888 he switched to pictures of cats. The success of this case was so huge that it became regarded as one of the main experts on cats and even elected chairman of the National Cat Club. The popularity has reached such proportions that in London the end of the last century said, though without the Christmas greeting cards, drawn by Wayne, is like Christmas cake without blueberries.
