Find the Cat: Here’s the Answer to the Viral Photo Puzzle

Can you find the cat hidden in a now-viral photo? The photo shows a crowded bookcase, and now people are trying to find the cat hidden there. If you’re still trying to find the cat, read on for the answer.

This photo is kind of like a feline version of Where’s Waldo. And since both cats and Where’s Waldo are so popular, it’s no surprise that this tricky picture has gone viral on social media.

The photo was first shared on June 7 by Kate Hinds. She’s the planning editor for WNYC, a public radio station. She posted the photo to her Twitter timeline.

Here’s Where the Cat Can Be Found

First, here’s another hint: the cat is close to The Power Broker.

Does that help?

Here’s where the cat can be found:

Kate Hinds’ cat is named Norah, by the way.

Someone else pointed out that her cat was very close to a picture of a bird, which was pretty funny.

Someone commented that as a cat owner, they knew exactly where to look for the cat first:

Hinds loves sharing stories about her cat on Twitter. Here’s another cute picture of her cat from this month:

Last month, Hinds shared that her cat likes to guard the room she works in and will meow like crazy if she closes the door. I can relate to this, because my cat Mufasa does the same thing if I close my office door. Cats don’t like being kept away from their loved ones.

In April she shared her cat’s “Kingdom of Boxes”:

I especially love this photo because her cat is right next to a painting of her cat:

Her cat likes to pose in front of images of her:
