Fact-check: “Cats can't see colors”
Verdict: False (95% confidence)
The documented evidence clearly shows cats can see some colors — particularly blues and yellows — just not as many or as vividly as humans. Cats are dichromats with two functional cone cell types, which gives them limited but real color perception. The old belief that cats see only in black and white has been replaced by experimental and physiological evidence to the contrary.
