Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul), also called the manul, is a small wild cat found in Central Asia. It is named after the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who first described the species in 1776 under the binomial Felis manul. Here is an image of a stamp with a decidedly bizarre depiction of a Pallas's cat, printed by photogravure, and issued by Mongolia on February 15, 1966, Scott No. 402, plus a photo of a manul in the Rotterdam Zoo for comparison.

To all the cat collectors out there: I was told that the first cat appeared on a postage stamp in 1930. It was the "Lindbergh" airmail stamp in Spain, Scott #C56. I don't have a scan to put up, sorry. The cat can be seen sitting in the foreground of the stamp. Her name was "Patsy". (Don't ask me how I know that little bit of trivia - sometimes I just know stuff, haha)

Here are images of a cats booklet pane and of the four stamps depicting different breeds included within it, designed by Eva Jern after photographs, combined engraved and lithography, and issued by Sweden on March 18, 1994, Scott Nos. 2064a and 2061-64, Facit Nos. 1829-32.
