If you're someone who enjoys a good challenge, a brain teaser shared on social media might just put your observation skills to the test.

Can you spot the cat?

A visual challenge posted on Facebook by a page called Dreame is currently grabbing the attention of users. The post features a visual with the simple yet intriguing question: “Can you find the cat?” — accompanied by a small image of a white cat next to a question mark. Below that is a large photo filled with fluffy popcorn.

But there's a twist — hidden somewhere within the popcorn is the face of a white cat, camouflaged so well that it's practically invisible at first glance.

The challenge? Spotting that tiny feline face among the sea of similarly coloured popcorn.

Not as easy as it looks

At first glance, most viewers are stumped. The white cat’s face has been strategically positioned to blend in perfectly with the texture and colour of the popcorn.

Some claim to find it within seconds, while others admit to giving up entirely. The mix of frustration and excitement is what makes optical illusions like this popular.
