Fact-check: “Cats can't see colors”
Verdict: False (92% confidence)
Multiple peer-reviewed studies and veterinary sources confirm that cats do see colors — just not the full range humans see. Cats have cone photoreceptors sensitive to blue, cyan, and green wavelengths, and behavioral studies show they can discriminate between colors. The claim that they see no colors at all is directly contradicted by the documented scientific record.
