I have no idea how they did this but it s
The image depicts four cats sitting side by side, their fur patterns and the clever positioning of their limbs creating an optical illusion when viewed at a glance. Each cat has distinctive tabby and white fur, and they are positioned in such a way that it makes it appear as though there are only two cats when you squint your eyes, due to the patterns of their fur blending seamlessly together.
The cats are sitting on a lavish couch or settee with a luxurious blue upholstery and a gilded frame adorned with ornate designs. The background contributes to the opulent setting, suggesting these felines are of a particularly high status or in a setting that is meant to be regal or aristocratic. This adds to the humor by presenting the cats as if they are posing for a royal portrait.
The text above the image reads, "I have no idea how they did this but it's hilarious. Squint your eyes lol." This instruction encourages the viewer to change their focus and squint, which alters the visual perception of the image, thereby enhancing the optical illusion created by the cats' fur patterns and positions.
When viewers squint as suggested, the two cats in the middle seem to disappear or merge into the cats on the ends, giving the illusion that there are only two cats with extraordinarily long bodies. The initial confusion and subsequent revelation upon altering one's focus is a key part of what makes this image amusing to some people.
The illusion is enhanced by the cats' relaxed and content expressions, which I have no idea how they did this but it s hilarious Squint your eyes lol
