THIS cat has paw-sed the purr-fect selfie!

Georgie, a cat from Gosport, has been chosen as the first winner of a national cat selfie competition run by Butcher's Pet Care.

Owner Caroline Oaks took the winning shot of her feline friend.

She said: "Georgie is full of personality, and the picture really showed his inquisitive side.

"He’s a fantastic pet and has a very distinctive look – we think he’s beautiful and are delighted to win the top prize!”

Julie Callet, assistant brand manager at Butcher’s, comments: "Cats hold a very special place in people’s hearts and they often share very special moments.

"We felt that the picture of Caroline and Georgie really reflected the amazing bond they have.

"We loved how Georgie was taking the pose for the selfie - like a true professional! I hope Georgie enjoys the prize!"

Georgie won a year's supply of Butcher’s Really Meaty and Butcher’s Really Fishy canned cat food.
