This challenge has been making rounds on Reddit, with many users confessing their failure to locate the elusive kitty. But not everyone threw in the towel so quickly. A handful managed to spot the feline, though it appears only those with superior visual skills can crack this conundrum. Fancy testing your abilities?

If yes, kudos to you. If not, don't worry, a helpful Reddit user has given a hint: "Look for the other eye among black fur!" Another user has offered even more precise directions: "Go to slightly left of the middle and keep going down until you see the eyes. Once you see it it's impossible to miss. Hello Kitty!".

One puzzled social media user commented: "Human visual perception is weird. After scanning, I was able to locate the aberration in the leaves reasonably quickly, but it took a few seconds of processing to actually see and orient the cat. It's neat to see survival instincts at work my brain could figure out 'something's wrong' faster than it could discern exactly what."
