Only those with eagle-eyed vision can spot cat in image of woman sweeping
Some have been locked in for minutes or even hours trying to find this hidden animal - and you wouldn't believe how hard it actually is, reports The Mirror.
The picture, shared on the Reddit thread r/opticalillusions, appears to show a red-haired woman standing in the centre, holding a brush, with a colourful curtain, door, and bucket in the background. However, a sneaky feline is lurking somewhere in the image - but can you spot it?
The post asks: "Can you spot the cat in this optical illusion?". After staring at the image for a while, some users threw in the towel, admitting they couldn't find the cat anywhere. But others came to the rescue, revealing that the solution lies in rotating your screen.
If you're yet to find the cat, and don't want a clue, do not scroll on below.
One user said: "Hint: turn your screen clockwise 90 degrees." Another user added: "Tilt your phone to the right, the cat is a silhouette on the wall, formed by the lady's arms and the tapestry."
A third user suggested: "Looking at the photo, next to the lady's ear on the right-hand side and tilt your phone 90 degrees to the right."
Once the cat's location was revealed, users couldn't help but see it. One user commented: "Once you see it, you can't not see it." Another user noted: "It's in the negative space between the arm and the curtain."
According to Mindvalley, this type of problem-solving requires lateral thinking, a creative approach that involves thinking outside the box. As they explain: "The brain is neuroplastic, meaning it has the ability to shift and change over time. Many people believe our brains age as we do, growing less powerful, less capable, and less competent over time."
It continues: "What most don't realise, however, is that you have the ability to manipulate your brain the way a sculptor moulds clay. Hint: turn your screen clockwise 90 degrees.
"The brain is susceptible to all we expose it to – people, music, work – even the physical environments we traverse on a day-to-day basis. Everything we partake in has the potential to subtly shift the wiring of our brain."

Film lovers unimpressed after Dublin cinema 'left the the lights on' during screenings
OVER ILLUMINATION DURING showings at one screen at Odeon cinema at Dublin's Point Square led to a raft of complaints and has resulted in the cinema chain closing the offending screening room indefinitely. The hubbub gained traction online when when one Odeon customer took to Reddit to share their understandable frustration after encountering the offending lights while watching Danny Boyle's zombie sequel 28 Years Later. 'I have watched more than 20 movies this year in different theatres and have never seen lights so bright, the dark scenes of the movie were barely visible,' they said. To make matters worse, ushers said they had been told they couldn't turn off the lights as it was the emergency lighting system. To save other cinema fans from a similar fate, the customer took to Google reviews, but found they were not the first unhappy patron. A previous customer said the cinema's lighting 'completely ruined the viewing experience', while another said they would give the cinema a rating of 'zero' if possible. Advertisement One prospective cinemagoer posted online that they had decided to seek a refund rather than risk ending up in the brighter screening room. The experience would be 'equivalent to watching telly with the big light on at home', another poster said. Thankfully, Odeon cinemas have now taken action to prevent further harm and closed the screen. Apologising for the inconvenience, a representative said the infamous lights were in fact emergency lighting which had gone rogue. 'The emergency lights in that screen are usually left on at minimal level for health and safety reasons. However, it does seem that there is an issue with controlling the light levels, so ODEON has decided to close that screen until it's resolved,' they said. No doubt the cinema managers are hoping their corrective action casts the row in a slightly different light. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

James Bond fans just learn what A View to a Kill means 40 years after release
As it approaches its 40th anniversary since hitting the big screen, many James Bond fans are still puzzled over the meaning of A View to A Kill's film title. The 1985 flick sees British secret agent James Bond thwarting Max Zorin's evil plans involving a microchip, retrieved from a deceased colleague in Russia. Despite its popularity, the title A View to A Kill has left some fans scratching their heads, with one Reddit user querying: "Explain like I'm five: What does A View to A Kill mean? How does the grammar work? I could understand A View to Kill or A view to a Killing." Cineworld reveals the film was initially titled From A View to A Kill, mirroring Ian Fleming's short story on which it is based. However, the word 'From' was dropped during production. A statement from Cineworld explains: "The film adaptation owes little to its source other than the title; in the original story." Despite receiving mixed reviews, A View To A Kill, another Roger Moore Bond film, managed to rake in a substantial profit. With a budget of $30 million, the film grossed a whopping $152.4 million worldwide - demonstrating how Moore consistently kept Bond profitable amidst changing pop culture trends and various challenges. The website adds: "To this day, A View To A Kill is regularly viewed as one of the weaker Bond movies by fans and critics. "It was, perhaps, not the best note for Moore to go out on; it had been expected that he would retire following 1981's For Your Eyes Only, and his age is clearly an issue in A View To A Kill. "Nevertheless, the end of Moore's tenure confirmed that he had successfully re-authored the role in the wake of Connery, no mean feat, and had kept the franchise lucrative throughout two of its most challenging decades." Commenting on this, one Reddit user answered: "A View to A Kill is the fourteenth James Bond film. It's loosely based on From a View to A Kill, a Bond short story written by Ian Fleming. "For some reason, they removed the 'from' from the title when they made the movie version, making the title less sensical." So what does it actually mean? Another Redditor has their own theory that makes a lot of sense. They added: "In hunting, a view is the moment you spot your target, a find is when you discover their trail/scent and start pursuing, and a check is when you lose that trail. "There's an old British hunting song that goes 'From a find to a check, from a check to a view, from a view to a kill in the morning'. "It's a reference to that, evoking the image of a hunter preparing to kill their target. (The movie's script is called 'From a View to A Kill.')".
