The brainteaser shows a chaotic living room scene with a beige dog in the centre and a grey cat lurking at the edge.
The room is littered with half-opened tins, fruit peels, and chewed notebooks.
There is also a pink sofa with blue stripes at the top of the optical illusion, covered with specks and paw prints.
While the two pictures are nearly identical, there are subtle differences that a simple first glance may not reveal.
The clock is ticking, can you find them before it’s too late?
Need a hint? The solution can be found at the top left of the image.
Study each section of the picture carefully and you should be able to spot the differences.
Meanwhile, why not try some other optical illusions while you scroll?

If you scroll down to see the solution solved, you’ll note that the bowl is perched on the stained sofa.
But it’s a difficult spot as it’s placed right beneath what appears to be a spring.
And if you really want a challenge, try your hand at this teaser to see if your critical thinking skills are top-tier.
You may be smarter than 98% of people if you can find the sneaky snake in the optical illusion in under 16 seconds.
