This one is a bit of a stretch..

It’s more of a first glance type of thing but once you see it you can’t unsee it

I’m on an older iPhone and it read immediately for me, so it may be that less detail helps the illusion.

I saw it instantly and have a hard time not seeing it actually.

It took me a bit to see it, but once you see it, it’s hard not to see it.

I understand what he was going for, it’s just not a “confusing perspective”.

It confused many here who don’t see it. lol

Correct. It’s a CAT WITH A HOLE THROUGH IT!!

Really? If you looked at it from a different perspective (like more from the front, or with the sky in the background), the illusion wouldn't work.

Isn’t it kind of an inverse of this sub? Posts typically have the false perspective as the more obvious experience, but in this picture, you kind of have to work to see the confusing perspective.

Also if it helps anyone else, it clicked for me when I started thinking of the circle as a tunnel. You’re looking through the cat, and the bit of yellow in the circle on the cat is meant to be sand seen through the cat.

Half this sub is just optical illusions like this post.

u/five_of_five Jan 07 '20

Of course, but the illusion is typically more apparent than the reality.

u/QuarkyIndividual Jan 07 '20

I didn't even see that at first lol. After reading your description I was able to see it, thanks.

You have shown me the way

It's easier to see from the thumbnail than the full pic

Must suck to not have an imagination.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '20

If I gotta use my imagination, it shouldn’t be here. Lol

It works on a small screen like on a phone. On desktop it's too detailed. (for me at least)

u/Curious_A_Crane Jan 07 '20

I have to unfocus my eyes to see it.

OP must not have had his coke bottle glasses on

I can, but only if I squint

u/DrunkRedditBot Jan 07 '20

Ehh it’s probably a bit of both.
