Cat looks like its got another moggy on its back

Don’t worry, it’s not a glitch in the Matrix, and you are definitely not the first person to do a double take at this intriguing photo.

The internet is already teeming with those who cannot get enough of the moggy dubbed ‘Metacat’.

At first sight, with eyes narrowed, it looks as though a lazy kitty has set up shop on a fellow feline’s back.

But fear not. In a second photo the cat kindly turns its head to confirm it was an optical illusion created by the unique markings on its back.

‘Witty’ social media users have been quick to react to the latest image threatening to cause as big a stir as ‘The Dress’.

‘This looks like one of those dresses that you’re meant to wear to make you look thinner,’ wrote Twitter ‘Speak of the Devil’. 

Steve Is Damaged hailed it as a prophecy of a dystopian future, saying: ‘Metacat is here to rule us all twice as hard as a non-meta-cat could.’

And an insightful ‘Drawn to Draw’ pointed out what we were all missing when he said: ‘There is a cat on this cat.’

Say what? The internet has been sstunned by the moggy dubbed ‘Metacat’, whose unique markings make it look as though its got another, lazier moggy on its back
