American journalist Robert Maguire posted on social networks “Twitter” is a rather unusual shot he took a couple of days ago in your own home. At first glance, it seems that presented the frame depicts a certain raven, but this is by no means the case. A photograph is a fun optical illusion.
The fact is that the American captured his smartphone on the camera the cat who sat in the kitchen and threw back his head as he approached the owner. Maguire did not even suspect that in such a pose and from a similar foreshortening his black pet suddenly becomes distinctly similar to feathered. The beak of an ephemeral bird, as you can guess for yourself, his ears became purrs, and his right eye turned into the eye of a raven. The other eye of the mustachioed is poorly visible due to insufficient lighting.

Only then we we realize that the brain has deceitfully deceived us.
