Once you see it, it stands out, but finding it was tougher than I thought. [The photo](http://spooky001.blogspot.com/2011/12/find-cat-in-this-picture-if-u-canreal.html) If you see it, please don’t give away where it is and spoil the surprise for others. . ---

Found him, but it did take awhile! Pretty cool. ---

Took me about 5 seconds, but only because I was looking for a cat. If you didn’t tell me I was looking for a cat, just that I was looking for ‘something’, it probably would’ve taken a few minutes. ---

Don’t think I would have noticed it if I hadn’t known I was looking for a cat. I love this kind of picture, anyone got any more? ---

[Here’s](http://i.imgur.com/yQoMweP.jpg) one of my favorites. If you don’t see it, keep looking. I probably spent 10 minutes staring a that picture the first time I ran across it. Don’t see it yet… keep looking ---

Maybe you thought the middle face was the clear answer, but it wasn’t. :mad: (mild annoyance). ---

I found the cat, but only after downloading the photo, enlarging it to screen size, and sharpening. We have a grey tabby cat that can do that - go out in the back yard and completely disappear in plain sight! ---

Found the cat myself after about 30 seconds or so but yeah, very well blended in 🙂 ---

These are making me feel very good - I’ve seen all of them fairly quickly, but I have never in my life been able to see a 3D picture. ☹ ---

Maybe you thought the middle face was the clear answer, but it wasn’t. :mad: (mild annoyance). Same here - can we get some confirmation that the dark face between the two foreground girls is the big surprise? She’s not very well lit, but she’s hardly hiding! ---

Unfortunately it’s got a name attached to it that gives it away - fortunately, I am even less observant about names. ---

No luck until I took off my glasses and used the handy-dandy magnifying glass that I keep on hand for just such emergencies. This is the second, “find the cat photos,” I’ve seen in the past couple of days. Is this some sort of growing trend?
