Can You Find the Cat Hidden in This Picture in Under 30 Seconds?

Do you remember those optical illusion books? The ones that challenge you to find something amongst an image that was almost impossible to make sense of? Well, optical illusions have come back in full force, this time with actual real-life images. This one is, in our opinion, probably the coolest of them all because it wants you to find the hidden cat! 

So, we all know how cats may not be man’s best friend, but, there is one undeniable truth, and that is that cats rule the world wide web. They use their fluffy, majestic feline powers which we as humans are yet to understand. It’s no wonder that this particular optical illusion is taking the internet by storm. Did you know that the word “Cat’s” is one of the most searched words on the internet and that videos showcasing cats on youtube have up to 26 BILLION views, making all of them the most popular search word on the world wide web? Insane right? Well, the feline world and word go a lot deeper than the use of it in our daily search engine.

Can you find the hidden cat?

We all know how wild cats are camouflage masters, they have to be in order to catch prey in the wild, but in a sort of rural-ish, wild-ish landscape they still get the gold medal for camouflage, even if it’s just to hunt field rats and mice. 

It’s no secret that optical illusions challenge our mind and eyes and the ability to spot something that would otherwise be invisible to the unaware mind. Also, optical illusions are super fun and entertaining, whether done with a group or solo. The game aims to entertain the mind. So, why is this illusion so different from the others? Well, first of all, you are challenged to find something that is literally the same color as the background.  A desert-like landscape filled with golden hues, a dusty, un-kept area with dead golden grass, golden sand, a dirt road, and an old, dilapidated stone wall. It makes one think, what could we possibly be looking for? Well, we are looking for a golden tabby cat. Also, if the actual setting didn’t make it hard enough, how about adding a time frame to find this majestic creature, we’ll give you 30 seconds.

So, how did you do?

Interestingly, few who have attempted this challenge have managed to find the hidden cat amongst the golden hues.

And, be sure to share this mind-boggling illusion with your friends! Without further ado, here is the answer in case you did not manage to find the hidden cat!
