Fact-check: “Cats can't see colors”
Verdict: False (95% confidence)
Cats can see colors — the claim is wrong. Multiple peer-reviewed studies and veterinary sources confirm cats have more than one type of cone photoreceptor and can distinguish colors, particularly blues, greens, and yellows. Their color vision is limited compared to humans (similar to human red-green color blindness), but they are not colorblind in the sense of seeing only gray.
