It’s like one of those eye tests with all the dots where a number appears! Hopefully you’re hoping we’ll spot the rather gorgeous looking pussy cat?

great shot. i love big cats. it is amazing to see animals in the wild they way they were meant to be. i was visiting my daughter in melbourne and we went to Bells Beach as she and her brother loved the movie Point Break when they were teenagers. we were alone sitting on some rocks when a small seal broke through the water very close to shore. i was afraid we were about to see something trying to kill it so i grabbed a rock, yes i thought for a moment i could save it. however, the next time he broke the surface he had a small octopus in his mouth. I believe he was close so he could slam it into the sandy bottom to stun it. everytime he came back up there was more of the octopus missing. it was unbelievable. but i also realized that if the predator is cute you’re less likely to want to wade in to save the not so cute prey.
I see him/ her!
I think him

You passed the test!
Resting in the shade?
Yep
Very nice kitty! Nice resting place too.
It was wonderful to see such a beautiful animal in the wild.
I see him or her resting.., for a moment
A short moment. He kept moving around.
I see him/her too!!!
This is such an awesome shot. He looks super comfy
It was a little warm that day. He kept wandering from one shady spot to another.
Yes! It is amazing how animals are given the gift of blending in with their surroundings.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw him in the wild. Thank goodness we had guides or I never would have spotted him.
it’s a leopard
And a beautiful one!
You are soooo lucky to have seen this for real!
Yes, I do see it! He looks oblivious to everything around him.
Cool pic!

I wonder if octopus makes a decent meal or snack.
so well hidden…but still the beauty is to be seen
