Find the bright star in the (upper) blue portion of the nebula. Look straight down and you can see the tip of the cat's left ear.
Look down and to the left, and you can see two perfectly symmetrical eyes, with a perfectly formed feline nose between them, exactly where you'd expect it to be.
It gets even weirder. Look above the cat's right eye and you can faintly see its right ear sticking up. If you can now clearly see the face of the cat, look to your right and you will see its entire body.
Even spookier....I can even see the spotted markings on the cat's face, and whiskers.

I know that some may have a hard time seeing the cat, but it stood right out the first time I looked at this image. It's so clear and perfect, that my first thought was, that another image must have somehow been superimposed on the photo of the nebula.

I don’t know... I see 12 small elves doing the whole Irish Riverdance thing - maybe, Lord of the Dance.

Human brains find patterns in random things. It's a well known phenomenon.
But yeah... I see the cat.

Well I don’t know about the cat part, but I can see the Madonna. And a pancreas.

Looks like a orange tabby. Looks more like a cheetah, or some other big cat to me.

Nah...I can’t see any of that. But I also can’t see the pictures within pictures that you stare at for 15 minutes in the mall.
To: Windflier
It jumps straight out at you, once you find the star and follow the directions. Spooky!

I must be right brained because I don’t see a cat...with your instructions I guess you can say it’s a cat...but to me it would be anything...
