Curiosity Won't Kill This Cat! This 'Floating' Feline Optical Illusion Will Leave You Puzzled
Optical illusions are made to make you question reality. Your eyes see one thing and your brain deciphers it as another but yet, it is very difficult to decode some optical illusions.
Optical illusions always give our brains a good workout! They are made to make us question reality. We see something and our mind deciphers something else completely. Some illusions are challenging while others are easy-peasy!
Take for example this old picture which appears to show featuring a cat floating in mid-air. The illusion has left the internet baffled and wondering if what they're seeing is true.
The puzzling picture was shared on the sub-Reddit r/confusing_perspective, by a user who goes by the username Flamind666.
The post features a picture of a black cat lying on a sofa in a way that makes it look like it's floating. The user captioned the post, "Floating cat?"
There is also a shadow nearby, however, the user clarified in the comments that it is ¡°from a phone of someone taking the picture¡±.
Needless to say, Reddit users were left perplexed.
¡°Okay this one legitimately hurts my brain,¡± one user commented.
"This cat is obviously into the dark arts. No other explanation," another user commented.
"Cats are divine beings - Ancient Egyptians," a third user commented.
It¡¯s all about the perspective and that is what optical illusions can do -
make us see or believe certain things that are not real.
Earlier, an illusion featuring a spinning cat left the internet divided, with some saying it is rotating clockwise and others are of the view that it is moving anti-clockwise.
The black feline is shown against a white background. The more intriguing part is that you can make it turn in either direction with your mind if the TikTok user who unloaded the illusion is to be believed.
But here's how it actually works. Lexi Natoli shared the video on her @yolkfather account and said: ¡°You can change this optical illusion with your mind."
¡°At first it looks like the cat is only spinning in one direction, but after you look at it for long enough you will be able to make the cat switch directions with your mind," she said.
The mystifying clip had ignited debate - with many users offering their own observations. Some couldn¡¯t believe that the cat¡¯s direction can be changed depending on how you look at it.
