Optical Illusion: Can you spot a kitten in this picture?

Optical illusions are one of the few things that have interested human curiosity for generations. These wonderful puzzles with illusions play with our perception, which gives us a great form of trickery that we do not mind enjoying. Most forms of deception cannot boast of that; it is more inviting when optical illusions make us solve some puzzle to understand the meaning underneath.

They just show how easily the eyes and brains can be deceived, putting one to question and look closer at and think deeper about things.

Such optical illusions are interesting because they present a perfect symbiosis of art and science. Those tricks that exploit the peculiarity of human vision that could be interpreted in more than one way that creates duality, make them so fascinating that they are more of puzzles than pictures.

In the illustration, there are two ladies along with a black cat. The cat sits beside one of the ladies. The theme gives a vintage vibe. Between the two ladies, there is a table, and on the table, there is a medicine bottle. The lady on the right side points towards that bottle.

Your job is to find the kitten that is hidden in the picture. The black cat is sitting on the left side of the picture and is not the kitten we are looking for, it is the mother. In fact, we are supposed to look for the kitten who is disguised-cleverly hidden somewhere in the scene, and you only have five seconds to spot the kitten.

Could you find the kitten in 5 seconds? Well, if you could, then you are part of that group which stands at 1% of the population. The task is quite tricky, especially since the kitten is so cleverly disguised and blurs perfectly in the vintage setting of the picture. The details of the image itself, the postures of the women, and the objects around them, all add up to the trick of the challenge. So, if you could spot the kitten pretty quickly, kudos to your observation and sharp eyes!

If you can't spot the kitten, do not panic! Look at this image once more with a different perspective. Is it true that the kitten may be hiding in plain sight?

Okay, here's your hint: take a closer look at the dresses of the women, particularly around their heads. Do you now notice a hidden kitty ? The kitten is upside down and seems like a hat on the lady's head.
