The photo you see is of the cleaned up terrain, where the cat's existence is obvious. Most likely that's the reason.
> The figure was barely visible and was about to disappear due to its location —on a fairly steep slope— and the effects of natural erosion. The cleaning and conservation of the geoglyph was carried out last week. [1]

Once they invented inertial dampers, runways that zig-zagged like a cat's ears became a fun way to take off and land.

The shapes formed by Nazca lines can only be seen from the sky, that's the weird thing.

#8I'm not saying I believe any of the crazy conspiracies related to the Nazca lines, but I really do wonder what they actually are.
The mysteries behind a lot of these ancient megalithic structures make me wonder about how sophisticated these presumed primitive civilizations actually we're.

The cat in question clearly looks like a cat at ground level, where the photographer was standing.
According to the article, the cat wasn't made by the Nazca who made the famous lines, but an earlier culture a few hundred years previously.
