An optical illusion is doing the rounds on social media, and it's leaving people completely stumped.

The puzzle

The image was posted on Facebook by the account Minion Quotes. The illustration shows a cartoon-style drawing of a woman in traditional housekeeping attire—wearing an orange top and a light-coloured apron. She’s holding a broom in one hand and standing beside a bucket. The setting appears to be a rustic room with wooden walls, a curtain in the background, and an overall cosy, old-fashioned feel.

But there’s a catch. Hidden somewhere within the image is a cat—and it’s not easy to find. The challenge is straightforward: “99% of people can’t find the cat in the picture.”

These kinds of puzzles often use shadows, colours, and clever placement to blend hidden objects into the background.
