We've all seen people paws to take a cheeky selfie, but have you ever spotted cats snapping smartphone self-portraits?

These hilarious images - from a side-splitting calendar Cat Selfies - depict vain felines trying to capture purr-fect poses.

They include a black and white cat precariously hanging from a door, a puss - not in boots but sunglasses - posing with a mirror and a grey moggie doing a handstand.There is even a tongue-in-cheek recreation of the infamous selfie taken at Nelson Mandela's funeral by Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, David Cameron and Barack Obama.

Amazingly, real cats were used for the shoots, although a generous amount of digital wizardry was applied to contort the photogenic felines into shape.

The calendar is the brainchild of British company Maverick Arts.
