3rd International Cat Show.
Around 400 pedigree cats and their owners will be in the Principality at the weekend for the International Cat Show of Monaco. It's the 3rd year that the event has been organized by the Association Feline de Monaco (AFM), and it takes place on 20th and 21st February in the Auditorium Rainier III.
Beautiful cats will be pampered, primped, and presented, and the "Best in Show" is awarded the Coupe de la Ville de Monaco. To mark the occasion the Office d'Emissions des Timbres de Poste is issuing a stamp, as it did last year. The photograph on the 2010 stamp is a Bengal cat, last year's world championship winner, which is also attending the show in Monaco. You'll be able to buy the stamp at the exhibition, as well as lots of other items for cats and their owners. There's even a cat portrait artist to capture the image of your feline friend.
