Cats are not color blind, they can see blue and green, but they cannot see red and yellow. They also have worse vision than humans, but they can see darker light than humans. The retina of

has three cones, red, blue and green. It is precisely because these basic "three primary color visual cells" give animals the ability to perceive colors. There are only two types of cones in the cat's retina, namely green and blue, which means cats can only distinguish limited colors, such as blue, green, gray and yellow.

Although the color recognition ability is poor, it does not affect cats' life and predation. In the dim light, cats' vision is much more sensitive than humans. They only need one-sixth of the light received by the human eye to accurately capture the details of movement and appearance, and can adapt to the night predation life.
