Just days before Halloween, a viral picture has spooked many on social media. Shared by a Twitter user Robert Maguire, the picture has an interesting optical illusion to it. At the first glance, the picture appears to be that of a crow. In reality, however, the picture is not that of a black crow, but a black cat.

While many wondered if the ‘shapeshifting’ animal belonged to Maguire, others compared the picture with the popular Ludwig Wittgenstein’s rabbit-duck illusion. Here are some of the many reactions the tweet garnered:

I maintain it’s a raven, cunningly disguised as a cat pretending to be a crow. Triple psych.
They’re clever buggers these corvids.
