Challengers are tasked with spotting a cat hidden in plain sight in a photo of a colorful cactus.

The puzzle proved almost impossible for anyone without excellent observational skills.
The ability to focus on each area of the image without distraction is key to successfully solving the challenge.
The cat must be spotted in less than 15 seconds for players to be included in the top 10 percent of puzzlers.
An Instagram user posting under the name @centraltucson.co shared the challenge which quickly went viral on the social media platform.
Think you’ve spotted a cat yet?
Many people admitted that it took them longer than expected to find a cat.
The painting shows multi-colored flowers that hypnotize the eye with cactus spines pointing in all directions.
The background is deceptively blurry because at first it seems like the challenge of spotting the cat will be easy.
However, not everything is as it seems.
Tip: Look more closely at the gray areas of the image.
If you still can’t spot the cat hidden among the flowering cacti, scroll down for the solution.
The baffling mind wanderer follows a series of optical illusions by illustrator Gergely Dudás, who is also known as Dudolf.
He recently stunned many after challenging them to spot fish on the ocean floor alongside shipwrecks and other sea creatures.
Many people have said that the puzzle is fun, but they haven’t been able to solve it.
Dudolf also shared a puzzle that involves spotting an owl with a unique sweater.
Challengers were forced to abandon their pursuit after running out of time to break the 10-second record.
