However, Central Tucson Companies, which posted the photo on the Instagram, revealed something was lurking in the snap.

"Rumor has it, there is a cat hidden in here," read the caption. "Let us know if you find it!"

At first, it seems daunting when looking at the image - while it seems peaceful, there's so much happening within it.

The cacti are the most eye-catching part with their brilliant green coloring and thorny spines poking in every direction.

Meanwhile, the blooming flowers also draw a lot of attention as they're scattered throughout the photo with colors ranging from deep red to light pink.

And, of course, the desert mountains with a mixture of orange, green, and brown are captivating all on their own.

It would be hard for the average person to find the elusive cat and some might believe there isn't a cat in the photo at all.

But there is one, and it takes a more eagle-eyed person to spot the animal.

If you can't find the pesky feline, don't worry, we have made the answer available.

If you bring your attention to the lower right-hand side of the photo, you'll be able to spot the cat.

The tabby cat is perched right on top of one of the cacti, staring right at the camera.

"Omg he's so hidden," wrote one person in the comments section.

"Found it!!!!!!" wrote another person.

If you were able to best that illusion, try your hand at finding another hidden furry friend.

There's a dog cleverly hidden inside this photo of the historical venue, Borgo Stomennano (@borgostomennano) in Tuscany, Italy.

A picturesque garden with lots of greenery has doubled as an optical illusion with a dog hidden somewhere within it.

"Where’s Waldo? Let’s discover the outsider," the caption on the post teased.

Set your timer for ten seconds and see how quickly you can find it.

Were you able to spot the cute and cuddly canine?

Still not challenging enough?

See if you can quack the case of this camouflaged mama duck and her three ducklings hidden in the rocks.

The ducks expertly keep themselves hidden from their predators and prey.

The grey rocky scenery helps the mother stay hidden and protect her babies.

The moss-covered rocks with splashes of blue water make it difficult for the eye to focus on looking for the birds.

In addition to this, the ducks are so well camouflaged that their feathers almost mimic grey rocks covered in brown weeds.

If you are struggling to spot it, a top tip when trying to solve puzzles like these is to look out for the specific animal's distinctive features.

These include their small heads that don't fit in with the shapes of the nearby rocks.
