Cats know how to work a camera, proving to be ultimate models. But, as most things with cats, the photography sessions only come out well when they choose to participate. This unwritten rule of catting also goes for taking a selfie with your cat.

Anyone who’s tried to catch a cute snap with their cat understands the frustration of an unwilling cat. Yet we still try because we want to capture our love for our felines in a cute photo memory. And for all our trying, we’re sometimes left with disaster… and bleeding skin!

Check out what happens when cat selfies go terribly wrong…
