A Cat in Gothic Style by Louis Wain, created between 1925 and 1939

In 2021, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain film was released, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy.

I haven't yet seen the film, as it's not available on DVD at the library, but I'll get to watch it someday!

I mean, cats and Cumberbatch!

See, ET...I can fangirl on men who DON'T wear kilts also!
