Optical illusions are all over the internet. We still remember the great debate of whether or not a dress was black and blue or if it was gold and white…I’m still traumatized by the family group chat from those days.

Either way, optical illusions can be trippy and they can leave us with loads to talk about. But some optical illusions are made on purpose, like the rug that was designed to look like it is a 3D vortex about to swallow you up into great unknown.

The rug on its own is mind-blowing enough, but when you add in the presence of a fluffy lil’ kitty, it becomes the most adorable optical illusion to grace the internet. Enter Hosico, an adorably chubby little Scottish Shorthair cat who is making the internet chuckle with his nonchalance at the trippy-looking rug.

In the video, the fluffy feline enters the room, already looking like he’s unimpressed by everything around him. Typical cat. He approaches the rug and gives it a quick sniff before proceeding to lay down on it.

He’s clearly not phased by the pattern upon it and is more interested in claiming it as his new favorite nap spot.

At one point, the camera is just at the right angle in order to capture him looking like he’s got his paws folded at the edge of the sinkhole, almost as if he’s contemplating the secrets of the universe hidden within.

The rest of the video is Hosico cleaning himself on the mat and looking quite comfortable despite the optical illusion making it seem like he’s on the edge of nothing.

It definitely gets you questioning as to whether or not can cats see optical illusions, and if they can, is this just proof that cats are too cool to be bothered by them?
