A group of cats may look easy to count until several tiny kittens are hidden among the larger animals. This picture asks whether you can find more than the cats you notice at first glance.
How many cats are in the picture?
There are 11 cats in total. Seven large cats make up the main group, while four small kittens are partly hidden behind or between them.
Where are the hidden kittens?
One kitten peeks out at the far left beside the black-and-white cat. A little orange face appears between the larger cats near the center. Another kitten is tucked behind the orange-and-white cat at the far right. The fourth is a dark kitten squeezed between the cats in the front row.
Count the seven prominent cats and add the four hidden kittens: 7 + 4 = 11.
A helpful way to solve hidden-animal puzzles
Start by counting the obvious animals, then look for eyes, ears, noses, and tiny faces along the edges. Check the spaces between two neighboring animals instead of only looking at the center of the picture.
This cat puzzle is a reminder that the smallest details often change the answer. Did you catch all four kittens on your first attempt?
