all cats are beautiful - from any angle
Feline fancy! Photographer, 26, takes bizarre pictures of cats from below at an animal show in Lithuania for a new viral project

A photographer best known for capturing animals in bizarre poses has released a new collection of cat photos.
Andrius Burba, 26, from Lithuania, photographed a group of felines from below at a cat show in Kaunas for a comical project entitled 'Under Cats'.
The creative collection of images was achieved by positioning the animals on a glass table against a colourful backdrop.
Capturing the various personalities of different breeds, the images show the cats smiling, yawning and even trying to lick the camera lens.
Andrius, whose previous projects have included working with horses and dogs, spent hours choosing the perfect poses for the cats as they stood on 6mm-thick glass.
The photographer, whose work was inspired by a 'ridiculous' cat photo on the internet, said:' This method of photographing animals always surprises with funny and cute results, which cannot be made any way other than taking the photos from underneath.
'I have a portable studio, which means that I can photograph anywhere, so the first thing that I do is build my studio.
'I use a glass table, put the background up, prepare the lightning and put the camera on the ground, underneath the glass table, but connected to a computer so I can see the shots.
'I play with the cats, pet them and try to trick them into looking down.
'Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but the final shots still look great in their own way.
'I like to look at the shapes and weird poses that the animal can create on the glass.'
The photographer, who has gained over 14,000 followers on Instagram from sharing his work, chose from a total of 3,840 photographs before releasing his project.
He continued: 'Some cats are easy to play around with and get interesting poses from, and others don't care about my photography and it is difficult to make them focus on a toy or treat.
'My job with the playful ones is to get as many poses as I can before they lose their interest and with shy cats I give them more time to adjust, pet them and hope they will feel more playful soon so that I could get a wider variety of shots.
'For me, every photoshoot I do has one purpose - to see how the animals look from underneath.
'I love how interesting the results always turn out to be.'

Very cute seeing them from that angle. I laughed when I got to the pudgy gray one with his eyes shut. He looks very mellow.
@feline groovy Thanks for all the cool pictures you post.
