Royal Mail is launching a new set of stamps featuring images of some of the most popular breeds of cat in the UK. The eight stamps show the animals grooming, stalking, playing, sleeping, staring and stretching.
Cats shown on the stamps are Siamese, tabby, ginger, British Shorthair, Maine Coon, black and white, Bengal, and tabby and white. They are sure to be popular with cat lovers throughout the UK and will become collector's items in years to come.
Royal Mail worked with author and animal expert Tamsin Pickeral on the issue. David Gold, of Royal Mail, said: “These beautiful stamps showing cats being cats show why, as a nation, we are besotted with them.
“Their enchanting, independent and quirky ways are perfectly captured in these images that all animal lovers will adore.”
