Do cats see in black and white or colour?

Answer 1

i think black and white but they all have beautiful eyes

Answer 2

I believe they see in black,whites and greys, but i have read some reports stating that they can see some greens and blues as well. It would make sense if they only had black and white vision, as vision is a lot sharper without having the rainbow of colours blurring the edges of things (or so says my colour blind friend).

Answer 3

I think at one time it was thought that cats (and dogs) see only in black and white, but now I believe it is more popularly believed that they do have a perception of colour, but not as distinguishable as humans, but can certainly tell a vivid colour from a dull one.

Answer 4

accept as true with Michelle. likely could be black and white or undeniable black. and it does not be techniques-blowing if this is all you get. If the two carry dilute blue and white or blue, A recessive this is greater unusual yet no longer relatively uncommon is colorpoint -- if the two carried that, there could be a kitten prove seal factor and white or (undeniable with out white) seal factor, or blue factor and white, or blue factor. different possibilities exist yet are very no longer likely. In each and all the above ( black, blue or pointed) the quantity of white ought to doubtlessly variety lots reckoning on no count if the mothers and dads have a million or 2 copies of the White recognizing gene, and based what each and each parent supplies to each and each kitten. If the two between the mothers and dads are heterozygous for White recognizing then case in point, one kitten ought to have not have been given any white in any respect, yet another might have in ordinary terms a small patch of white, yet another must be van-patterned , this is merely about all white with shade on head and tail. .

Answer 5

My vet told me that they only see in Black n White. What a shame for them, there's so many pretty colours out there. Either way - they have good vision.

Answer 6

Many adults think that cats cannot see any colors, only shades of gray. But this is not true. Cats and dogs can see some colors but not all of them. So in a sense they are like adults who are colorblind. Cats and dogs have cells in their eyes that respond well in bright and dim light. At night, cats and dogs use cells called rods that are sensitive to dim light. They are found in a lining at the back of the eye called the retina. When light falls on the rods, they send a message to the brain to explain the image that they see. For the bright light of day, you need cells called cones. But having cones in your eyes also means that you can also see color. Humans have three kinds of cones that allow them to see blue, red and green. So humans (and monkeys!) can see in full color. Dogs and cats only have two kinds of cones sensitive to blue and green light. So they do see some colors. By the way, if you have a horse or pony at home, they have red and blue cones. Horses see some colors, but they can't tell green from gray.
Are u satisfied with my Answer?

Now, do cats' eyes glow in the dark? No they don't. Cats and dogs have some cells behind the retina that act like a mirror. These cells are found in a part of the eye called the tapetum. This mirror reflects light back, giving the rods and cones a second chance to pick up the small amount of light available at night. It is this tapetum that makes cats' and dogs' eyes seem to glow in the dark.


Humans don't have a tapetum. You may have noticed that if you use flash to take a photo, humans tend to look like they have red eyes. This is because there is a reflection of the red blood vessels behind our retinas. If you took a flash picture of your dog, you might see yellow or orange eyes instead. This is a reflection of the light of the flash by the dog's tapetum.

Answer 7

According to my vet cats see in black & white, and shades of gray. But that doesn't explain to me why the red ball gets the most play, the green & yellow balls get played with sometimes - if the red ball knocks into them, and the purple ball gets no play at all. They're all the exact same kind of ball, just different colors.

Answer 8

Apparently the makers of Whiskas cat food preferred their tins to be purple because cats respond to that colour more than others.

Mammals eyes contain retinal cells called cones and rods, the former being sensitive to colour, the latter to black and white.

Cats are reputed to have more rods than cones, which allows them to see well in poor light but are less sensitive to colours.

Answer 9

colour is after al just light an cats and dogs have better sight than we do so i think they can c colour just fine!
