Everyone sees the clutter – but you’ve got 20/20 vision and high IQ if you can spy the four clever cats in 15secs
A BRAIN teaser has left puzzle players scratching their heads as they tried to find the hidden kittens.
These four cats have almost perfectly blended into the clutter around them.
At first glance, most puzzle players just see a cluttered room.
Within the photo, there are a myriad of toys, pictures, books, and more.
However, hidden in plain sight are four kittens who are sleeping in the room.
This brainteaser is especially difficult because of how many items are located in the room.

However, if you can find all four of them within 15 seconds, you could consider yourself a genius.
If you need a hint, look at the bottom right corner of the photo to find a kitten lying on the table.
Once you think you found the kittens, you can scroll to the bottom of the page to see if you're correct.
But before you do that, try another puzzle to test your wits.

See if you can if you spot the cat in under 10 seconds.
While the other kittens were taking a nap inside, another cat decided to play in a pile of leaves.
The photo circulated on social media due to how well the cat was able to blend into the foliage.
Most people would have trouble finding the sneaky feline, but seasoned puzzle players might have a shot at finding him.
If you think you have a chance, get a timer and put yourself to the test.
Those who struggle with brainteasers should try slowly scanning the photo to see if anything sticks out.
The science behind optical illusions
This brief explanation may help to unscramble your brain...
- Optical illusions make a little bit more sense when you learn that our eyes have very little to do with what we see and it is our brains that play the key role in creating images and trying to protect us from the potential threats around us
- Our brain is constantly trying to make sense of the world at the quickest pace it can despite the world being in 3D and the images on our retinas being in 2D
- It can be really difficult for your brain to interpret everything at once so it will often take shortcuts and give you a simplified version of what you see so you can have quicker reaction times if the object you’re looking at looks dangerous
- When you look at an object what you’re really seeing is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye, which is converted into electrical impulses that your brain then turns into an image
- Our brains can warp straight lines if an object in the middle of them looks like it’s drawing closer as it wants to emphasize the potential threat
- Different colours and light and dark can make the same sized objects look different or make patterned images look like they’re spinning
Once you find the answer, keep it in mind and try one more.
See if you can spot the fourth cat standing in the grass.
While it's easy to only notice the three black cats posing for the photo, the fourth cat is perfectly camouflaged in his surroundings.
Many people have given up on this optical illusion because of how difficult it is.
However if you can spot the fourth cat, you can consider yourself as someone with eyes like a hawk.
