At first glance, it looks like a cozy scene: a trio of calico cats lounging lazily on a patterned blanket. But a viral Reddit post is leaving viewers scratching their heads, because apparently, there’s a fourth cat hiding in plain sight.
The now-famous photo shows three black, orange, and white cats curled up on a blanket that almost perfectly matches their fur. The blanket’s pattern mirrors their colors so precisely that the cats nearly vanish into the fabric. Their bodies melt into the chaos of the print, turning what should be an easy count into a genuine puzzle.
Adding to the confusion, part of a curtain drapes into the corner of the frame, further breaking up the visual flow and giving the brain even more to process. The result? A camouflage masterpiece.
But here’s the twist: the post’s caption claims there’s one more feline hidden in the image. That’s right, there’s a fourth cat somewhere in the photo, cleverly disguised in the clutter of colors and textures.
Let us see if you can find where the cat is. And if you can’t then you are not alone and Redditors too found it almost impossible to zoom in on the 4th cat.

One user blamed it on the resolution, “I feel like I would be pretty good at this game but this sub downsizes images to potato cam resolution.”
A second user hilariously said, “I have pspspsps-ed at the pic, cat will appear in sometime.” A third user declared defeat and said, “I am literally stumped, this is a good one!”
As to the answer to this puzzle, the person who posted the picture wrote in the comment section that the cat was peeking from behind the curtain. The patterned blankets and cats on it distracts the viewers from actually looking at the entire picture, making it a great puzzle.
