Photographer scores a cat-trick! Computer trickery turns owners into their feline pets

Sebastian Magnani, 28, cleverly spliced the furry features of pet cats with the head and shoulder of their owners

The Swiss photographer photographed the owners and pets in same portrait style before merging the two images

It's long been said that curiosity kills the cat.

But one inquisitive Swiss photographer has brought a selection of adorable felines to life - by morphing them into their doting owners. 

This amazing series of photographs produced by Sebastian Magnani splices the head and shoulders of 15 different owners with the portrait of their favourite moggy. 

Using his friends, family and strangers, the 28-year-old - who says he is fascinated with cats' eyes - cleverly photographed owners and their respective pets in the same portrait style.
He then used expert photo-manipulation techniques on the computer to seamlessly transplant the feline faces onto the human bodies.

Highlights of the series, which is called Undercats, include a lady called Daniela's hair blending perfectly with the face of her ginger cat Micky while, in another picture, owner Mariette and her cat Salem don the same crash helmet.
 
There's even a photo of the photographer's father Ermano, with the face of his cat Jaguar, wearing a headset.

Purr-fect unison! Photographer Sebastian Magnani has blended together photos of cats and their owners. This incredible image, left, shows cat Blue merged with his owner, Miriam, who is pictured right.

Undercats follows Sebastian's internationally-renowned - and similarly-themed - Underdogs set. Here, he has blended cat Paraya, left with owner Christoph, pictured right.

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
