Hidden among the numerous human faces is a small cat – how quickly can you spot it?

Start the clock and aim to find the feline in 12 seconds.

The creators of this puzzle have done their best to make sure you stay distracted from your goal.

This is a common theme in seek-and-find games such as this one.

Across the sea of people, you are likely to get distracted by their different glasses, hair colours, expressions and clothing.

But by focusing on all of this, you are letting the cat stay hidden.

The use of muted colours is also another trick that is being used against you as it means nothing eye-popping grabs your attention.

If you find that you are struggling, there is a tip that can help.

Rather than tackle the whole puzzle in one go, why not do it in sections?

As they say, slow and steady wins the race.

Everyone can see the bird but you need 20-20 vision to spot the hidden umbrella in 7 seconds

So, divide the image into quarters and search each section carefully before moving on to the next.

This helps minimize the search area and means you are more likely to spot something that does not quite fit – like the cat!

When you think you’ve found him, scroll down to reveal where the feline is.

Don’t worry if it took you longer than 12 seconds as the average time to find the cat is 36 seconds.
