Many commented saying they spend nearly 10 minutes but failed to find it and finally looked at other replies. (@katehinds/Twitter)
People on social media are always up to the challenge regarding puzzles and optical illusions. Currently, many on Twitter are busy in solving a game of ‘I spy: feline edition’. Several Twitter users were baffled when they had to locate a cat among a shelf packed with plants, books, household items and picture frames.
With 50,000 people talking about it on Twitter alone, the picture has got everyone hooked online, but only a few have succeeded to spot the cat.
The picture was shared by New York based journalist Kate Hinds, who keeps posting ‘find the cat’ puzzles for her followers and flaunting her pet’s camouflage skills often. Sharing a picture of a big bookself cum TV stand, the image from her living room puzzled many online who tried hard to find the cat.

While many surrendered after spending way too long looking at the photo, some thought they cracked it, only to realise it wasn’t the cat but some decorative item.
This is hard. https://t.co/9XdEij8Mx7

I have a long list of things to get together today.
Yet still I’ve spent 15 minutes looking for this damn cat with no luck.
So eventually looked at the comments for the answer.

I literarily, metaphysically, metaphorically, figuratively and actually, see no cat. Are they playing with my mind? #WheresWallcat? https://t.co/E7rxlst1lz

Cat owners, however, said it was easy to find as they “knew exactly where to look”. Many remarked how cats loved to hide in a bookshelf.

To find the cat, you must think like the cat.

If you haven’t find the cat yet, the owner finally revealed where it was hiding.

As the tweet went viral, many others shared odd places their cats love to hide or nap.

Cats have been dominating social media during the lockdown phase. While some interrupted Zoom calls of their owners, stealing the show, others went viral for their skills.
