From easy to frustratingly difficult, these photos contain hidden felines. Can you find them?
Here, kitty kitty! Oh where could you be?
Not a challenge? Let’s try this one. Hint: Kitty’s shy:
This cat is well hidden, but she’s like a deer in headlights:
This cute cat is getting ready for an ambush:
Last but definitely not least, if you enjoy a challenge (or just feel like driving yourself crazy), I assure you there is a cat in this photo. Hint: Kitty’s in plain sight, not half-buried in the junk. Good luck!
Only one in a thousand people are able to find the cat in this photo.
Quite a few of our “spot the cat” posts require eagle eyes, but today we’re cranking up the difficulty by orders of magnitude.
You might ask yourselves, “Is there really a kitty in this picture?” I’m stumped!
Find the cat yet? He’s clearly a ninja!
Kitty’s somewhere in the big pile of stuffed animals, but where?
A woman named Gosia had a clever solution to a landlord visit in an apartment where pets aren’t allowed.
She hid her patient and trusting cat, Larry, in a pile of stuffed animals. Can you spot the little guy? Finding him was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, although PITB readers are usually a lot better than I am at Where’s Waldo? Cat Edition:
Just so we’re clear, this would never work with Buddy. As soon as there’s a knock or a buzz, he dashes for the front door and waits there impatiently for me to open it so he can see who’s on the other side, meowing excitedly the whole time.
But assuming I was able to somehow get him to stay and tolerate serving as the keystone in a stuffed animal pyramid, I doubt he’d make it one minute before forgetting he’s supposed to hide, bounding over to the landlord and chatting away like he always does.
A photo shows why mountain lions are so elusive. Can you find the hidden puma?
This is the real deal, friends. Not a cheesy low-res photo or an intentionally obtuse shot with three pixels of a tail visible.
There’s a cat in this photo — a puma to be exact — and finding it is a good reminder of how awesome these elusive felids are, as well as how well they hide themselves from humans and fellow wildlife alike:
The photo comes courtesy of the US Fish and Wildlife Services and eagle-eyed photographer John Tull, who spotted the well-hidden cat in rural Washoe County, Nevada.
Mountain lions are the second-largest cats in the Americas behind jaguars, and although they look like lionesses, they pose little danger to humans. About 15 people have died in conflicts with mountain lions over the past 100 years. Dogs, by contrast, kill between 30 and 50 people a year.
Mountain lions are also known as pumas, cougars, catamounts and panthers, among other names. The word “panther” is a nonspecific word for large cats and is often used in association with jaguars and leopards.
Known scientifically as puma concolor, these mysterious cats are more closely related to small cats (felis) than big cats (panthera), and have the distinction of being the largest cats who can meow.
A sneaky feline lurks in this photo of an editor’s living room.
Today’s “Can you find the kitty?” comes to us courtesy of Kate Hinds, a cat servant and planning editor at WNYC public radio.
Hinds snapped a shot of her living room, showing a large bookshelf, a TV, lots and lots of books, plants, knick-knacks…and a sneaky little cat.
This one’s a bit more difficult than it looks. Can you locate the hiding kitteh?
