About the Love Series: The U.S. Love Series began in 1973, with a new issue almost every year, typically for Valentine’s Day mailings. 2023 marked the series’ 50th anniversary.
History Represented: While some think cats are aloof, they express affection differently. Cats purr when relaxed or content, and studies suggest it promotes healing. Other signs include grooming, face rubbing, head bumping, showing their belly (a sign of trust), and slow blinking (a cat kiss). Despite unique ways, a cat’s love is comforting.
