Fact-check: “Cats can't see colors”
Verdict: False (90% confidence)
Multiple peer-reviewed studies and veterinary sources document that cats have at least two functional cone types (short-wavelength and medium/long-wavelength), giving them dichromatic color vision — they can distinguish blues from yellows and perceive some color. The absolute claim that cats 'can't see colors' is contradicted by the documented scientific record; the accurate picture is that cats see a narrower, more muted color range than humans.
