New Stamp Colection

The beauty and mystery of African Wild Cats

Text by Louise van Niekerk
There is something mysterious and elusive about cats, which have inspired many writers, poets and even great thinkers for centuries. Africa’s wealth of wildlife includes a number of beautiful small wild cats. Many of them are rarely observed, as they are nocturnal, shy and solitary. However, artist, Annemarie Wessels has captured their beauty and mystery skilfully on a set of five Africa airmail rate stamps.

Cat lovers and thematic collectors of cats on stamps, will be delighted to know that a set of five stamps depicting small African wild cats is due for release on 4 February 2011.
We have been trying to contact Mrs J Van Niekerk to thank her for her generous donation to Cats'9Lives but the cell number given on the Bank form is incorrect.

We provide the milk, pellets and take kittens in to be homed when they are old enough, but bottle feeding is a most rewarding job as it is so worthwhile to watch their development.

Cat Trivia:

Whiskers flattened back against the cheek often indicate fear or anxiety, while whiskers fanned forward are a sign of interest or curiosity. When relaxed, a cat's whiskers will be neutrally set. Leave whiskers alone when grooming; cutting these fragile sensors may hurt your cat and hamper your pet's ability to acclimate and communicate.
