Optical illusions can be quite mind-bending and fun to look at. That’s exactly what this Reddit user from Bavaria, Germany, i_spin_bubbles, captured while photographing his cat. In the photo, it looks like his cat has lost its head in a basket. The picture has gathered up over 10k upvotes and many comments are quite amusing, while others are just confused and wondering how this happened.
Apparently, the secret is that there is not one, but two cats in the photo: one named Koda, lying in the basket, and the other named Lilly, turned away. We talked with the owner and he told us more about the cats and their story.

“My parents always had cats so I really missed having cats of my own. I told my sister I wanted cats, and her cat (also Lilly) hadn’t been sterilized yet. However, she had a miscarriage, so my sister got these two for me from a nearby farm. They were 10 weeks old. The first week, they were with my sister and their new ‘mama’ Lilly. After that week, I had time to collect them. That Lilly was one of the reasons I wanted a third cat, and why I wanted her to be three-colored as well.”
Lilly was the third cat the user got and she had a leg injury with a fever when he got her, but Lilly soon got better

“I set up an ad looking for a young female cat, and a few days later, I got a reply with a cat named Lilly, who didn’t get along well with their male cat. She had a leg injury and seemed to have gotten an infection (she had a fever). That’s why I went to the vet, where I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the immunization card: She was born on the same day as my brother, who died 20 years ago.”
Here’s the whole family taking a nap together
