Cat sneaks behind a garden fence in this optical illusion – but can YOU spot the feline in under 10 seconds?
In this image, you can see a pair of cheeky yellow eyes staring out from a secret location. But can you spot them as well as they can hide?
People on the internet are scratching their heads after being given the challenge to find a cat hiding in a photo of a red fence.
The tricky optical illusion promises to test people’s powers of observation, as a cat is cleverly disguised within a seemingly simple image of a fence and parts of a tree.
However, many people have been unable to pinpoint the creature’s location within a certain time frame of less than 10 seconds, making it quite a challenge for many to spot the creature quickly.
The pointed tops of the fence, their rust-red paint peeling, tower to where gray wooden beams support the fence.

Surrounded by the branches and leaves of a green tree, creating shadows along the fence, puzzlers have no choice but to use their eyes and brains to piece together parts of the picture and find the cat.
But for those who can look closely, you can see the yellow-orange cat peeking out from the shadows behind the top of the fence.
Look at the center of the photo, hidden between two points of the serrated fence in a perfect triangle, and you will be able to spot the cat’s face, highlighted by a glimmer of sunlight.
The image is just the latest in a series of photos that have left Internet users confused lately.

In November of last year, a photo of a leopard circulated on the internet. The animal appeared perfectly camouflaged against its surroundings as it stalked its prey.
Leopards are among the world’s most stealthy hunters, their spots allowing them to remain deadly undetected.
Besides remaining silent when approaching their prey, camouflage is one of the most important factors that enable big cats to stealth.

Although the leopard spots make the animals stand out in a zoo, in the wild, where many light and dark spots occur in quick succession (for example, through long grass), the pattern is an evolutionary advantage.
This not only helps with hunting, but also protects leopards from the potential threat of larger predators such as lions, who share their habitat and compete for the same prey.
Look closely and you’ll see the big cat peering through the foliage and past a tree, searching for its next meal.
The leopard is located on the far right of the photo, at the base of the tree trunk and behind a clump of tall grass.
