So you see a cat, big deal – I can spot it as well. But did you know, that if you move back from your computer screen, you will see a completely different animal?! In order to see the photo in it’s other form, I recommend standing 3 or more meters away from your screen. Do you see what is the illusion now? If you are regular visitor, you will remember this isn’t the first time we post Hybrid Images on our weblog. If memory servers me correctly, the first one was with Albert Einstein and Marylin Monroe, following Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide, Dolphin Car, Hybrid Collection and others. Can you remember if there were others as well? Would be cool! By the way, Aude Oliva and Antonio Torralba have created this flick back in 2006. You may also enjoy: Thatcher or Blair optical illusion.
Umm is it a dog?
1st comment!!
Wow! Really nice one!
no idea.
I’m getting a seal or an otter…
a seal?
Is it a kitten then a cougar?
woo 2nd comment
i think its a pug
it’s a pug dog..
I don’t see another animal…only a “hint” of a cougar…
yep its a pug
you have to squint a little
Can’t see anything but a cat :(
Perhaps I need to go farther than 3 meters… I’ll try later
Doesn’t work with me.
At all.
Just to verify: I stand next to it and I see a cat with gingery hair except grey on the nose. I see the same from as far away as my room and passage let me go.
I kinda got a lop-eared bunny. It’s kinda like those 3-d pics you stare at and I never get those.
woof woof
I see only a Cat..
i have no clue what it is…it still looks like a cat to me…
1st 2nd!
i think it is
2nd comment!!!
Umm…I still see a cat.
Maybe a pug… I’m not sure ^^’
Oh god! that’s good one! Its nose is actually tongue. if u don’t see it, try to look behind it, and u wont see it clearly, but it helps you. that’s how i got it.
Sorry, Seigneur, can’t see anything — my eyes must be too old or I’m colourblind! :-{
Yes, I see a dog aswell. A little one. Not bad. The mouth moves up a little and the dark spot between the eyes becomes the nose.
It is indeed a dog, and to be mor specific: bulldog
This effect has to do with something called “spatial frequency” which is comparable to the resolution of an image. Normally we see everything with high spatial frequency, because the visual system uses its best acuity. For that reason we don’t see low spatial frequencies if they are covered by high spatial frequencies. If we move away from the image, it is as if you decrease the size of the image. The visual system cannot process the high spatial frequencies anymore (the details become too fine), thus we see the lower spatial frequencies we would normally not see and they reveal: A dog.
You can make one yourself with photoshop: Take two identical pictures of yourself, one where you smile, one where you look angry. Then blur the angry face a lot and use the option “high pass” on the happy face. Overlay them on top of each other (average) and voilà!
Is not quite so beautiful, but works great.
i cant see it…lol
It is a very cute dog. However you can see a pair of eyes within the eyes, if that makes sense.
i think its a seal
or maybe a dog
or a walrus?
i think so. . .it looks like…mmm that`s all i see
a dog or i also see ort of an owl..
yes it is a dog if you move away from the screen and close up its a cat
I also think it’s a dog…
It looks to me like a pug, I believe. I couldn’t really see it until I moved away and crossed my eyes a little, but it got really clear then.
Cool! I see a cat up close and a dog farther out. But is it just me, or does someone else see a Native American dude?
All I saw was a cat.
If I stand back and squint so my vision blurs, I suppose it could look like a Yorkshire Terrier, otherwise, it just looks like a cat to me!
I see an owl, roommate sees a pug. That’s pretty awesome.
Is it a Bulldog????????
Is it a Bulldog?
a rabbit??
hm, either a koala or a pug
the first thing a family member said when walking in the room was “is that a cat or a dog?”
XPP
owl?
OH SHO CUt
Tip: move away and blur youy eyes.
ya its a pug!
I don’t see the animal…
That sucks, you cant get far enough away from the screen to see any difference. even from 3M. from the side it could be a Puppy, or maybe even a human but the cat in it is still strong
Jup, I guess it’s a dog. interesting
For those who are lazy, crossing your eyes works. ;)
I can just take off my glasses, and it works. X3
Awesome illusion!
It’s a bulldog!! Cool!!!
I don’t see ANYTHING!!!!!
Its a Pug, with its tounge sticking out
i think its an otter?
4 meters and I still see a cat… maybe a cat without ears, but not another animal :(.
Is it a seal?
ummi dont really see anythihng just a cat=/
I think it’s a bulldog
Mmmm, I don’t see it…
i think so… it looks like a dog mmm thats all i see
I still see a cat.
I can either see what looks like a mountain lion or if I blur my vision a pug.
try squinting too…
I believe it is supposed to be a pug puppy. had to get like 12 ft away to see it though.
an owl!
..right?
only saw a cat still from 15 ft away
Bulldog puppy with its tongue sticking out?
Maybe a otter?
i see a doggie
it might be a bigger cat
Well you have to look from VERY far (about 5 meters), so that it becomes clear enough.
It’s a smaller cat. No, wait. It is a cat that is further away?
you have to really far to see it…..
I keep on just seeing the cat! :(
What’s the other animal?
It does look like a pug!
seal? (don’t know if this the exact spelling though)
I don’t see it that clearly to be honest
Just saw the filen ame of the image, this makes me change my answer to dog ;-)
maybe a seal???
yep..
it’s an ostrich!!!! i think
Poutti
aaaw i cant see anything :(
Or is it an owl?
no it’s a dog!! one of those bull-doggy ones!
OMG its a furby!!!!
If you slouch down it will look like a monster
Haha, I seen a deer.
I still see only a cat :(
couldn’t really see anything by moving far away so i resized it in paint and it looks like ‘a cute little puppy’ :P:) Well… it looks like a pug or something, yeah like someone else said the nose is a tongue and the dark bit is its nose.
It barely works. The other ones are better.
I see the Eiffel Tower
OMG!! Pugs are UGLY!!!
It’s a SEAL!!!
if you look close you can see its definitely a blend with a mouse
Dayana,
look farther away. I had to go pretty far away to see the pug.
I think itz a mouse becuse it looks like itz mouth is full
It is definitely a cat judging by the nose and the placement of the whiskers. The eyes have somewhat of an elliptical shape also.
Wow I see a Pug!Squint a little, then you’ll see it.
Btw does anyone think it has funny-looking eyes up close?
it kinda does. they look up and look quite relaxed and bored.
They point up and look kinda bored.
u have to go realy far stare at it for like 5 minutes and it all starts to turn grey
AHA! i know what it is its cat up close realy far away its a dog!!! its cag!=)
It’s a floppy eared bunny!
hum…i stood some meters away…hum….it remained a cat..i mean..i can’t see the other animal…LOL

LOL it’s oviously a pug XD
i saw it and i didn’t even have to move that is cool
did not see the dog but when i was far away from my monitor the cat was moving its head from side to side as it was looking out from my monitor into my room… and it was leaning out from my monitor to watch around in the room. kind of creepy ^^. but fun.
i see a cat with loins heart who else see it?

i see a cat and when i move away its a lion ! LOL i agree with u rise
It’s a cat up close & when I walk away….It’s…OMG STILL A CAT.
I saw a white owl. The cat’s nose is it’s beak.
pug with a tongue sticking out
must be something with me eyes i see just a cat and then
a cat with darker checks.
I c a pug puppy
guys, it’s a dog
It’s a pekingese dog!! :D
I saw the pug, but only after I read the post that explained it. When I tried just looking from a distance I still saw a cat. When they suggested I look for a pug, only then did I see it.
i see an owl i think
i wanted to see what it was after about 5 mins of stareing at the screen 3 meters away i decided to give up … what is it ?
its a cunny cat/bunny
YYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY :)
OMG
I can’t see it……
wait.. o there it is, its a buffallo i get it now.
OMG
i saw catbert bunnistein
OMG ITS DR.OCTAGONAPUS FIRING HI LASER!!!
btw i lost the game
I saw a french bulldog when I backed away
Its a dog!!
who thinks it is a frog is stupid … it is a blurr puppy
stood away from my screen about 12ft. all i saw was a cat. should have stood on my front lawn and used binoculars. this one sucks.
A type of dog, Like pug. dunno.
I don’t know guys… I kinda saw a seal. I don’t see the dog in there anywhere and I went clear across the room. But, that frog? Totally there. You can see it in the upper righthand corner.
I try to go back dude but i live in japan so i cant far away from 3 meters to my computer!!! u kn belibed
I dont see anything :)
AAAHHHH! I see a dog!
It’s supposed to be an owl… but like a lot of these the 2nd image is not as great as the first since it relies on your NOT being able to see very much (blurring). You can see it by narrowing your eyes and purposely blurring your vision if you can’t walk far enough away!
i can tell that its supposed to change into something but i cant see it… all i see is the cat>>>>>>>> :/
If you squint your eyes, you either see a dog or bunny. I see both.
puppy
omg a pug
OMG i see a pug with its tongue sticking out. it was hard to see until i squinted my eyes.
Yeah, I saw a dog with its tounge out, but at the same time, I saw a rabbit.
a pug!!!!!
OMG I CAN SEE A DOG!!!!!!!!!!
PUG WUG!!!!!!!!!!
I wear reading glasses, so when I move away I see the cat then when I look thru my glasses, I see the Pug dog
losers. its a pug dog. (and a cat of course)
I see a pug dog! So cute! I guess there is no right or wrong answer though, what you see is what you get
its a bull dog awww i wuvvv bull dogs they are so god damn cuteee
ITS A PUG!!!
Nope, sorry, it’s still just a cat. Even from 3 meters away.
I Agree!
try from 5 meters away!! its a dog!!
It’s a boxer puppy!
All I c is a cat no matter how far away I am
The “cat’s” nose from far away is the “pug’s” tongue.
You could just squint your eyes…
I see a yorkie…..
Guys is a puppy! :)
I can see it. I´s a pug!
first i saw dobbie, then i saw a pug
Looks like a pug if I squint my eyes and back up. The dark spot above the cat nose is the dog nose, and the cat nose is the toungue of the dog. Hope this helps!
