A collection of charming images showing a lifelong friendship between a four-year-old girl and her cat have been created by a Russian photographer.
Andy Prokh, 44, from St Petersburg has taken a series of natural shots and staged photos of his daughter with the family pet.
His daughter, Katherine, is pictured with LiLu Blue Royal Lady, a grey British shorthair cat in a variety of poses.

Mr Prokh has been photographing six-year-old LiLu with his daughter, now four years old, since Katherine was born.
He said it’s important for him to photograph things he cares about.
‘They live and grow together, I just have to do is press the shutter button on the camera,’ Mr Prokh said.

The images show the pair in a variety of scenarios, including playing with apples, drinking milk at a table, pondering a mathematical equation and playing guitar.
Most of the photographs are in black and white, and feature realistic poses, while others have been edited by Mr Prokh to depict imaginary scenes.
