Find the Cat Optical Illusion

How’s everyone doing today? I know a lot of you are probably upset that it’s Monday, but I certainly hope you had some fun over the weekend. I was so busy over the weekend that it just seemed like my weekend went by very quickly. Now, I’m sitting here at my desk enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee while I watch it storm outside of my office window. There’s some very loud thunder outside and here and there the flashes of lightning will catch my eyes.


Yesterday, after I had posted my optical illusion for the day, I came across a pretty cool illusion that one of my Facebook friends posted up. Today, I would like to share that very same optical illusion with all of you. The object of this illusion is to find the cat. Are you ready to give it a try? If so, go ahead and start scrolling down.


Find the Cat Optical Illusion





I don’t know about you, but I love animals and I love illusions that require you to spot hidden things, so this illusion is like the best of both worlds for me. I certainly hope you enjoy it, as well.


Do you want to check out another spot the object optical illusion that involves animals? Try to find all of the hidden cougars in this optical illusion.

A study in 2007 found that eating processed meat increased the risk of getting bowel cancer. There wold be 4,000 fewer cases of bowel cancer if people had less than 70 grams of processed meat a week. For example, one hot dog contains around 30 grams of processed meat.
