In reality, the bunny is on the left side, about three to four cats across. Its longer ears and slightly different face give it away once you know where to look.

Why optical illusions go viral

Optical illusions like this work because they make the brain see patterns. Our brains are wired to see shapes so when a similar shape like a bunny among cats is hidden in plain sight, it makes us slow down and pay attention. That moment of victory when you actually get to find the hidden object is satisfying and that is why these puzzles spread so fast online.

Many users shared how long it took them to find the bunny in the comments section of the post.

While some dubbed it as a “great picture,” others said it has “lots of distractions,” but still looks “very cute”.
