Is Your Cat Tormented By Optical Illusions?

by Susana Polo | 9:27 am, March 8th, 2013


Either way, rasmusab, the creator of this video, wants to know for their informally crowdsourced study of human doing annoying things to their cats. In this case, showing them the “rotating snakes” optical illusion and seeing if they fall for it. (Illusion below, for the curious.)

    I think it’s very interesting. Cats’ sight is different from ours in many ways, they don’t see the same colors, have a smaller binocular vision field and need for their survival to be able to tell if a thing is moving or not. Yet their brain process images in a way similar enough to ours that they fall for this illusion. It’s fascinating.
