Royal Mail: New cat stamps released
- Published
The eight new stamps show pedigree breeds and moggies. Did you know, according to the charity Cats Protection there are about 10.8 million pet cats in the UK!
The cats in these stamps are seen grooming, stalking, playing, sleeping, staring and stretching.
This furry feline is a British shorthair, and the other cats that feature are Siamese, tabby, ginger, black and white, Bengal, and tabby and white.
Royal Mail worked with author and animal expert Tasmin Pickeral on the stamps.
The postage company said these stamps aimed to celebrate the relationship between cats and humans.
David Gold from 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," Mr Gold added. The stamps will be available to buy as first class and second class stamps.
