Apparently kittens can see an optimized Farser-Wilcox optical illusion.

Wow! Do you have the original source for this video? It’s great if the kitten is actually seeing motion and not just playing with paper.
Ipek Oruc and I did some experiments in people to explain how illusion works and we wrote a paper about it. See http://www.journalofvision.org/content/5/11/10.full

Best, Michael.
Thanks so much for posting this source, Michael.
The original YouTube video Michael linked to also calls on viewers to do the same test with their own cats and upload the result to YouTube. Crowd sourced kawaii psychophysics.
