Cats see the world differently than humans do. While we enjoy a vibrant spectrum of colors, cats are dichromats, meaning they only see two primary colors: blue and green.
This means they perceive a world with shades of blue, green, and gray. While they can't distinguish between red and orange, they can see some shades of yellow.
Here's a breakdown of what cats can and can't see:
- Can See: Blue, green, some shades of yellow, and gray.
- Can't See: Red, orange, and other vibrant colors like purple and pink.
This limited color perception doesn't hinder their vision. Their eyes are adapted for low-light conditions and can detect movement much better than ours. This allows them to hunt and navigate effectively, even in the dark.
Remember, while cats may not see the world in the same vibrant colors as humans, they still have excellent vision for their needs.
