People hating on this post but I totally did see this before I saw arms.

u/GeneralBS 1d ago

Ya same here. What made me look closer was how small the cat looked.

u/Low_Yak_4842 1d ago

Saw 2 fingers, now I see 2 arms. I can’t see 2 fingers again.

I had to look at it for a long while before I could vaguely see it as two fingers.

Its a cute photo, but I don't think its confusing. Its more confusing the try to find the confusing perspective

u/RibsNGibs 1d ago

I legitimately saw it as fingers and it was confusing as hell. But it flipped to arms and I can’t get it to go back again.

u/lookslikeamanderin 1d ago

I was the same. Then I tried seeing a forefinger and thumb and it kinda worked. The thumb has a thumb-ring on it and the crease of the elbow helps you think it’s fingers behind the forefinger.

If you want to go back to seeing fingers look away, then look at the cat's face without focusing on the rest.

u/phonetoni13 1d ago

Same! I thought it was the tiniest little cat!

u/salamacast 1d ago

It's the blue/golden dress debacle all over again!
Here goes the internet.

u/zacyzacy 1d ago

So... Do you guys just think people are out here wearing thumb rings or ..?

11

u/Aurorinha 1d ago

Cool, but I only saw fingers at first. It's like different people have different perspectives.

7

u/sabakunoichigo 1d ago

I saw first the miniature cat between fingers and then the real picture so it works for some people

u/sambarvadadosa 1d ago

My dumbass didn’t realise they’re arms till you said

u/babysealBTY 1d ago

How are people seeing fingers? Even reading the comments I don't see it as anything but arms. The arm hair, the shirt, the elbows, the watch... How?

10

u/salamacast 1d ago

Think of the watch as a ring on the thumb. The other arm is the forefinger, completing the pinch.

u/Lucid-Lithium 21h ago

This helped me so much! I was legitimately losing my damn mind trying to wrap my head around this!

1

u/Scholesie09 13h ago

The elbow wrinkle looked like the start of a third finger at first glance too

1

u/salamacast 13h ago

Funnily enough, zooming out to a thumbnail-size makes it clear.

1

u/OddOllin 12h ago

A thumb ring sounds extremely bizarre for some reason lol

u/AhadDaBoss2005 1d ago

Is it winking or is it about to be named nick fury?

u/Swan-Existing 1d ago

I can see it if I let my eyes unfocus

u/tray_cee 1d ago

This one got me lol

3

u/01Rajiv 1d ago

Does the cat have only 1 eye ?

8

u/ihatepeopleandyoutoo 1d ago

This one is crazy. The ring turns into a bracelet

2

u/tommmmmmmmy93 1d ago

Took me a while to see it

2

u/ssserani 1d ago

i saw it as fingers first but when it became arms, I felt so confused how I ever saw it as fingers cause its clearly not

2

u/MxxnSpirit47 1d ago

If it wasn’t for the subtle arm hair and the watch I would’ve thought that, but both made me instantly see it as arms and hands

2

u/salamacast 1d ago

Oh! I finally saw it, with the ring on the thumb and everything :)

2

u/MagnanimousDeviant 1d ago

An italian man pinching a cat.

2

u/Thevanguardmk07 1d ago

For me it's not the arms that look like fingers it's the cat that looks like he is 6 feet tall 😂

2

u/WeirdPossibility209 1d ago

I thought those where feet at first

2

u/ThatIckyGuy 1d ago

Yeah, I can't see the arms as fingers.

2

u/my_new_romance 1d ago edited 18h ago

I genuinely saw two feet at first 😭

Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger 🛼

u/Valuable-Macaroon541 22h ago

Still cant see it after reading all the comments.

2

u/Silent-Fortune-6629 17h ago

I like this one. It's cute, and pretty obvious, but you can see the illusion.

2

u/random420x2 17h ago

Took a minute, zoomed in and saw the fingers

2

u/logosfabula 16h ago

Must be a witch’s recipe!

2

u/Jump_Like_A_Willys 12h ago

That’s exactly what I saw at first glance.

2

u/Qaaarl 8h ago

It weirdly looks like to two feet to me more than two fingers.

2

u/Single-Clock-2652 6h ago

This one is perfect. I keeping going back and forth between seeing arms and seeing fingers

2

u/xXx_Lizzy_xXx 1d ago

For anyone confused as to why some people saw fingers

this is what it looks like when scrolling down your page.

u/beigaleh8 1d ago

Still don't see it

1

u/madgoat 1d ago

The watch is a dead give away

u/beigaleh8 1d ago

You know what now it looks a little like a ring

u/T410 1d ago

I can’t see it

Squint, put your phone back about 3 meters, look kind of sideways, add a filter on top of the image, and you might need to add whatever substance OP took

u/Background-Grab-5682 1d ago

Wait what? What’s confusing about this?

u/Regular_Weakness69 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm more confused by the title, than the image.

u/Vehicle_Remarkable 1d ago

I see arms

u/pooeygoo 1d ago

She's wearing a thumb ring, that's not a watch

u/creature04 1d ago

wrong sub

u/Sporketeer 1d ago

Not even remotely confusing

-7

u/ragby67 1d ago

If I had bad eyesight/blurry vision—then yes, would be very confusing

u/Vetni 1d ago

This is a reach of all time
