Instagram user @centraltucson.co, who has over 4,600 followers, shared the optical illusion.
“Is it just us or are these things getting harder… Can you find the hidden cat?” they wrote a post.
They used the hashtags #hiddencats and #cactusflowers to make the picture go viral.
The challenge proved almost impossible for anyone who wasn’t a true animal lover.
Can you spot the cat in 15 seconds or less?
Many people were confused by the mind manipulator, and one person even wondered if it was a trick.
“Are you sure there’s a cat in there?” they wrote.
The plants seem to be all different sizes and shapes, making it difficult to know what to focus your search on.
Bright colors stand out, but the mischievous cat somehow manages to hide perfectly in plain sight.
If you have a hard time spotting the cat, try to look more closely at the areas of the picture where there is a shadow.
Think you’ve spotted it yet?
Here’s another tip: the cat is ginger.

The infuriating brain teaser comes after Lo (@lo09064) shared an animal-themed challenge on TikTok.
She tasked the riddlers to spot a deer among the trees in the forest.
Can you spot the deer in less than a minute?

While the leaves can be easily seen in the foreground, the deer has mastered the ability to blend in with its surroundings.
You’ll need 20/20 vision to find it before time runs out.
Here’s a tip: take a closer look at the trees on the left side of the picture.
If you still can’t spot the deer, scroll down for the solution below.

If those two puzzles were too easy, try the third one created by Gergely Dudás, better known as Dudolf.
A cartoonist who lives in Hungary shared an optical illusion on the theme of winter on his blog and Facebook.

Only the most discerning of puzzlers can find all three stars among the falling snow in 40 seconds or less.
“Wow, this was the hardest and craziest thing ever,” wrote one Facebook user.
“I can usually find everything pretty quickly, but that third star confused me,” said another.
“I even looked down around the animals and missed it! This was good!”
Here’s a hint: each star has five points.
