Fact-check: “Cats can't see colors”
Verdict: False (97% confidence)
Multiple peer-reviewed studies going back to 1964 confirm that cats possess at least two functional cone types (S-cones and ML-cones) and can discriminate colors, particularly blues and greens. The scientific consensus is that cats are dichromats — they see a narrower, more muted color range than humans, but they are not colorblind in the absolute sense the claim asserts.
