    My KiKi that died a few years ago at 18 years old..LOVED the color Red.
    He at 2 years old always went over and stared at anything red...just loved that color.That was about 20 years ago...when I myself knew that cats could see color (watching my KiKi) while all the smartest articles in the world were saying cats could not see color.
    Just goes to show you how much they knew about kitty cats back then.
    Even now they still say in some articles cats cannot see color.
    We all know better

    Thank You Kim for this wonderful siggy

    Yep, I believe they can see colors. Cats are so much more smart than we think.
    There is no such thing as failure, just learning experiences.

    I absolutely believe they distinguish colors. Our boys love to play with red and pink toys.

    Google feline color vision
    Plenty of hits, such as this one:

    Cones and Color Vision

    The end result is that cats have poor detail vision compared to humans. And because cones are also responsible for color vision, cats have comparatively poor color vision. But they’re not colorblind. Instead, they have the same type of color vision as many people who are called colorblind: a type of red-green colorblindness termed deuteranopia. They can see blue versus other color fine, but tend to confuse colors on the red through brown through green continuum.


    I have long read that cats do not see red. Nevertheless, several of my cats have also have favorite RED toys, blankies etc. Other cats are partial to the black ones. Haven't noticed any other color preferences.

    If any of my cats had a favorite color, I never noticed it.
