Dog and cat owners baffled by optical illusion showing which animal they love more

Dogs or cats? It's an age-old debate among the pet-loving community, with many owners firmly planting their feet in one camp or the other. A new optical illusion has got the internet talking and may have the answer on where you stand.

Jackpotjoy created the illusion which features both a dog and two cats. So, what do you see?

If you're struggling to work out what's what, the red shapes represent two cats next to each other with their tails touching. But look at the image from a slightly different angle and you'll spot that the cats can also be seen as the long ears of a spaniel, with the white object the dog's face, WalesOnline reports.

Dog people personality traits

Psychologists say that people who prefer dogs are more likely to be loyal and friendly, playful, easy to get on with and often outgoing too. They typically like to socialise with loved ones and enjoy companionship.

Research suggests they are also protective in relationships and have loving qualities.

Cat people personality traits

Contrastingly, people who prefer cats are generally said to be more goal-oriented and motivated. They tend to be more likely to enjoy their own company - and be introverted - or enjoy being in independent.

Cat people may also be attention-seeking at times but can be born leaders who are creative and always on the lookout for the next opportunity.
