Start your timer and see how long it takes you to find the pooch among the felines.

Puzzles such as these rely on you being distracted so make sure you don’t focus too much on the cats and their antics.

Put aside all other distractions and give yourself the best chance at solving this challenge in seconds.

The creators of this puzzle have not only used the cats to grab your attention.

Their use of eye-catching colours also means that your eyes get distracted from their goal.

But now that you have had some time to find the dog if you are struggling there is a trick that may help.

Sometimes, it is quicker in the long run to take a slower approach.

Rather than randomly scanning the image for anything resembling a dog, you may need to be more methodical.

Split the image into smaller sections like quarters and search each section thoroughly before moving on to the next.

This helps minimize your search area and makes it more likely that you will spot the smaller details of the image which could lead you to the solution.

If you get frustrated just remember that regular practice of puzzles like these has huge benefits for your health.
