Are cats and dogs colorblind?

Why do people make multi-colored cat & dog toys, if cats & dogs are colorblind?

  • Are people really that unamused that they need the color for themselves? Hehe

  • Answer:

    They aren't completely colorblind. They see colors like we would at dusk. Not much but a little. That may be why the toys are so brightly colored.

Have you ever seen a black&white photo? You can't really see the colors, but you can tell the difference. I guess it's the same with dogs and cats. Even though they're colorblind, they can probably see shades.

cats and dogs can see color, just not the way we do. it's more muted and their spectrum is far smaller than our own. they can see shades at least. plus, who would want a bunch of brown or black toys laying around their floor?

good question! Maybe because if all the toys were black it would be boring!

Because it's people who pick them off the store shelves & pay for them, not the pets.
