here, I have this booklet with four cats issued by the Finnish post on May 4, 2006. What I do not like about them is that they are self-adhesive (im a bit old-fashioned when it comes to stamps), but they certainly look nice in this booklet..I love the paw prints! :)
the other ones come from Germany... i have both the mint stamps and the FDC...these were issued on 3 June 2004, and portray both cats and kittens...and if im not mistaken, these stamps are issued for those young people interested in philately...well, if i was a kid, these would surely grab my attention :)
I am both a cat and a dog person...just adore them...esp I have fondness for stray dogs and often wish i could adopt them all...anyways, for today I decided to stick with cats...cos with the lack of time im having for this post, i really couldnt afford to spend more time on thinking what to post :)

Don't worry about the deadline - it is Midnight Sunday USA time (or Monday morning if I am not around on Sunday night!) So maybe 6 Am Monday where you are!
ReplyDeleteI love cats, and I love cats and kittens. that German set is wonderful.
thank you for joining in.
I'm not a cat lover but I'm blown away by these. What an envelope to have.
ReplyDeleteOh I think the German stamps are the most beautiful cat stamps I have seen! Fantastic cover.
ReplyDeleteI don't like self-adhesive either but I'll make an exception for Finland's Posti who regularly issue some attractive stamp booklets like your cat one and those paw prints.
ReplyDeleteWhat an original selection! I like the odd-shaped stamps.
ReplyDeleteI share your opinion about self-adhesive stamps, but I recognize they are useful when it comes to send a lot of postcards!
i just loooooove the kitten stamps <3 not the usual theme for german post its a splendid surprise..!
ReplyDeleteThey are absolutely gorgeous! I've often wondered how people collect stamps nowadays when almost all of them are self-adhesive.
