Do cats see color or just black and white?

The perception of color is determined by the presence of cone photoreceptors within the retina.

Cats, on the other hand, are only partially color blind. They lack the ability to see red, or at least not strongly, but have no problems with blue or green. Cats have exceptional vision when viewing far-away objects but horrible vision seeing objects up close. They also have a blind spot in front of their nose, which is why they seem not to recognize food when it is placed right in front of them.

One thing that dogs and cats have in common is the ability to see much better than humans in low-light situations. This makes sense because cats and dogs are nocturnal hunters. The ability to see in the dark has enabled them to spot and capture their prey.

I have decided to test Watson’s ability to discern color. I’m going to put food in a blue bowl and no food in a yellow bowl and then present the bowls at the same time. Each time I feed him I’ll switch the position of the bowls to see if he recognizes the blue. I’ll let you know the results.
