A rare poster showing Tom Cat, the comic tenor who performed with 'La Strilla' (see last week's post) in Gilpurr and Sullivan's The Miawdo (excerpt on image 2)

(There was a subsequent human version which parodied this original with some success - see 'Miaowsicals & Oppawrettas Pirated by Humans', by Ernesto Flatpawski, (pub. Felix Books, 1928, 3rd ed.))
