May Belfort, a pretty young Irish singer of old songs and ballads who fancied Kate Greenaway dresses, puffed sleeves and a ruffled mob cap surmounted by a bow, was probably seen by Lautrec in 1895 at Les Decadents, a noisy but picturesque "cafe-concert". She often cradled a black cat in her arms while she sang. As Gustave Coquiot recalled, "This bleating ewe in a baby costume, with ringlets tumbling over her shoulder . . . held a black kitten in her arms and sang, 'I've got a little cat, and I'm very fond of that . . .,' while the audience would shout the chorus". (The song in question is the famous 1892 English music-hall number "Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-Wow," words and music by Joseph Tabrar).
