Do we all see different colors?

Do cats see different colors like we do or do they just see in grey?

  • Can cats see different colors like we can?

  • Answer:

    Cats are not color blind - they have the ability to distinguish between blues and greens, but lack the ability to pick out shades of red. Cats, like humans, have two primary structures in the retina of the eye for perceiving light: rods which help us see light and dark areas, and cones which have pigments to detect particular wavelengths of light. The ability of an organism to see in "color" thus depends upon the color receptors present in the retina. People (or animals) lacking a specific color receptor are unable to "see" that color. Most often, it appears greyish, or as one of the other colors that can be detected (i.e. purples appearing greyish-blue).

"Cats responded to the colors purple, blue, green and yellow range" From this website: http://kittyshow.com/x_cat_vision.htm On the third page is an example of how cats perceive colours compared to humans. Thanks for asking - I never knew this about my cat before either!

Well, from my own experience, Mr. Snuggles prefers the color orange to the more bland variations of gray. But, don't let it out that I got him talking again. That's our little secret! ;D

No they can't but they can see it better than we can. They Have very strong eyes and noses and I should know because I have 3 cats and they have the same vision only better.

it has been told that cats can only see black and white but a small percentage of cats can see like one other color some how scientists noticed this as some cats took to certain colors and some cat would be scared of a color (obviously because they find it weird because everything Else is black and white)
