WHAT COLORS CAN CATS SEE?

Cats perceive the world through a unique lens of colors, distinct from the human spectrum.

While humans enjoy a vast array of colors, felines see a more subdued palette.

Research suggests cats are dichromatic, meaning they perceive a range of blues and greens, but reds and oranges appear as shades of gray.

Despite their limited color vision, cats compensate with heightened sensitivity to motion and exceptional night vision. Understanding a cat's color perspective adds depth to appreciating their fascinating feline world.
