BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhuanet) --  Animal lovers would be thrilled to see the Yoga Cats feature in a 2010 calendar.

    Created by professional photographer Dan Borris and his wife Alejandra, the calendar combines real photographs with a whisker of Photoshop magic.

    Alejandra is a former yoga teacher-turned-animal practitioner. She borrowed these cats from friends and family, and coaxed the cats into the yoga positions, meanwhile her husband set up the lights and took the photographs.

    "Yes, the images are photoshopped," he said. "Some of these poses would be physically impossible for them although I have to say that after shooting cats I have a whole new respect for their agility."
