Do you ever see a cat or a bird move in the corner of your eye, but when you look closer it was just a leaf or a shadow or something? I think you see that cat just as much as you see anything at all. The visual processing just got a little too carried away in a way that was easily noticed, just like the seconds hand on the clock.
