With so many countries to choose from in the Eastern Hemisphere I finally settled on two - Bulgaria and Ethiopia.
I'm not a cat lover but Bulgaria issued a series of cat stamps in 1967 - here's just one of them.

Does anyone one know what breed this is?
The first World Championship in Rhythmic Gymnastics was held in Budapest in 1963. At Varna in 1969, Bulgaria topped the medal table and issued a series of stamps 61 years ago today commemorating the event.

I first heard of Haile Selassie as the Lion of Judah. He was the Emperor of Ethiopia and resisted the Italian invasion during WWII. I only have one Ethiopian stamp and he is depicted on that.

| Ethiopia - 22 July 1968 |
He was Emperor from 1930 - 1974.

Fine stamps. I love the contrast on the Bulgarian one.
Cat's eyes are fascinating.
Rhythmic gymnastics doesn't always get the respect it deserves.
The cat looks like a Persian.
